hii im recovering from a pretty traumatic relationship, I’d say it was mostly mental abuse from both my ex boyfriend and his mom. There were some incidents of physical contact. I don’t like to talk about the details too much, but I thought I’d ask… I feel like I love him? Is it just false love from being manipulated?? is this a common thing? I dunno :/// he was my first bf ever and after I broke up with him I felt really broken.

This is something called love bombing. It is a typical part of the cycle of abuse. It isn’t false love, but this person will love bomb you usually after abuse occurs to make sure you stay. Make you trust them again; “remember” who they “are”, and who you “fell in love with” to begin with. It’s a manipulative tactic to control you, your feelings, and your ability to leave. This is abuse. I know it is very difficult. But take a step back. And think, “would my true soulmate, and their mother, ever say these things to me? Would they ever put their hands on me?” No. You deserve more. I can elaborate more if you give me a little more. I am a DV advocate.
