Distracting From the Truth

Do you think anyone cares whether I hit you or not?

I doubt they will believe you and why should they?

Stop trying to blame it on me - is it my fault you're so dumb?

They're not really your friends anyway...why do you think they never come round to see you?

Really? It's my fault? Even though I work so hard and put a roof over your head, you're blaming me?

Are you really trying to make me hit you?

Cold salad is not what I asked for - are you deaf as well as stupid?

There's no point in trying to leave me - I'll find you. Besides, where else are you going to go?

I hurt you? That's rich! Do you remmember why I hit you in the first place?

Oh, please, spare me the waterworks. Are you still upset about me being gone all weekend?

Never embarrass me again in front of my friends or I'll give you something to really cry about. Do you understand?

Thanks for reading!

I was thinking about how abusers distract from what they are doing. Also, gaslighting is like a form of distraction.
