Thank you for your article “Going No Contact: The Scapegoat’s Last Resort”. It saved my life tonight. In the past I have made amends for my behavior and apologized when needed. But I am the only one. I am constantly scrutinized, abused, blamed, etc for people’s bad behavior. During the last 4 years I have silently endured their abuse without responding, because I was gaslit 4 years ago and I never want to feel that way again. Therefore they text, call, email, and treat me like dirt when others aren’t around, and I bottle it up and don’t respond. My brother recently sent me the nastiest text I have ever received out of the blue, and I have finally broken and there is no going back. I have tried to be a member of my family for my Moms sake, but I can’t do it anymore. I am done. I’ve been reading articles for about 4 hours and finally found yours, which explains my situation. Your advice has literally saved my life, because I didn’t think I had any options. I can’t thank you enough. With sincere gratitude.
