Oh, why have you not eaten? I care for you a lot. Come eat first
Vs, The next day, the same person didn't even respond to me when I called their name, they acted as though I wasn't there.
You must go, enjoy, and have a good life
But I am so unwell today. But I want you to enjoy it. Don't spoil your mood for me!
I really wait for you... You should come, sit and be with me... I need you now!
Vs. when I am there, sarcastic remarks, putting me down, making me feel miserable about myself.
Saying in words that I am their child, that they love me even more than that (when someone is around)
Vs no bothering if my unwell, not even coming to see me when I had a major health incident, not even be concerned.
She then asked my loved one to also join therapy.
In IWill therapy, she helped him see how whether the person was good or bad, but he was ignoring duties towards me, canceling my plans, and not spending time with me and this was not OK... I was here just for him... I had a place in his life... And that he couldn't and shouldn't ignore me in this way!
She then also asked him to focus on if words actually change to love...
She asked him to take my side, spend time with me and see how the reaction and words of the person with double standards changes towards me!
And his experience was shocking!
The person who was so nice to me suddenly started being worse to me on my face in front of everyone. The mask of fakeness fell off!I am glad I started IWill therapy and I could at least end this hypocrisy, this victim-blaming, this emotional abuse I went through from a double-faced person!
