4:12

how about a year and a half

4:14

ago

4:16

i got out of a

4:18

relationships that was six years

4:21

com s

4:22

the

4:24

very mentally abused

4:29

very hard to talk about have

4:31

a three because of just how

4:35

the tangible

4:36

the of beauty the snot i

4:38

mean there was a little bit of

4:41

the cool ideas but it wasn't like

4:44

harry from big little lies it was like

4:46

really annoying and twitter be so

about it

5:07

yet it really

5:10

interesting so the reason i got

5:12

out as it is

5:14

yeah

5:15

there might feel i was living with my

5:18

ex

5:21

we are we had roommates and my sister

5:23

moved in with that

5:25

in down at the time island

5:28

my mental state was like sarah

5:30

degraded from

5:32

that fighting over time i was

5:34

pretty convinced that island fight

5:37

evil person it's it's

5:39

harder played by over

5:42

time when year criticize

5:45

like

5:46

the like i i'd

5:49

give us a little bit like being in a cult but

5:51

you like start to feel like

5:55

oh like island inherently

5:58

that person and like

6:00

even when i would do good things are good

6:02

only if i guess it's like

6:04

my mask like i'm only

6:06

helping his person out because like

6:09

it's to cover up my inherent

6:11

evil nature the

line when my sister lives dead he

6:16

was like you

6:19

it really nice very

6:21

21:25

good marriage just really things like i could have

21:29

thing as that you criticized for

21:31

the people that

21:34

i have no longer really friends list

21:36

is you know you need to take

21:38

accountability

21:39

the for

21:41

you know we we knew you were a

21:43

part of why you stayed in a relationship so

21:45

long and like you need to take out ability for

21:47

that is like yeah i think it's an ability

21:49

for that mike narrow things

21:51

that i would do that was sort of react in

21:54

there are things like like i would

21:56

do in a healthy relationship that i

21:59

i didn't really doing

21:59

today

22:00

joy

22:02

22:05

that it's healthy if you have a the need

22:07

right the euro and like talk

22:09

should a person that lake

22:11

in that relationship

22:13

i was very good at like bringing up problem

22:17

thrive in every experience

22:19

that he had been a problem they would end with getting

22:22

like yellow that are like i have abuse

22:26

particularly strong example

22:28

of but i have issues my

22:30

yeah and i'll say this

23:50

i think that you have the right

23:52

yeah blake and again are also see this

23:54

this is one of those ones where i want to be feared that

23:56

i know all i can lend is

23:58

a sympathetic ear when the

24:00

platform i recommend

24:03

a change there's there's people who therapists

24:06

who specialize in working with survivors

24:08

of abuse i'm sure there are people within

24:10

that realm who are specialists we're

24:14

working with specific manipulation

24:16

base the case of controlling

24:18

behavior and all this stuff on

24:21

, far from the only person that our

24:23

act and ice you know many

24:25

people i know to who have been in relationships

24:27

who is a salt lake this colts were it was like

24:29

it one person colton this guru

24:31

was dominates there's people

24:33

who know at the time i know what i'm saying that the

24:36

what i can say is

24:38

very healthy for me when you say

24:40

like other people my for say you

24:42

, to take accountability for our

24:44

new stayed in it and then you for them yeah yeah

24:46

and i take accountability and that

24:49

is about the end of that conversation you

24:51

know the

24:53

innocence of idea of course of course where

24:55

did i go wrong how can i make sure doesn't happen again

24:58

our , times or i'm validated it or their

25:00

times where i got addicted to

25:02

it or other times where i did

25:05

when i'm sure you've done all that soul searching backwards

25:07

and forwards it's doesn't change the fact

25:10

yeah that this guy

25:13

why is

25:15

paddy

25:18

narcissus c b c as

25:20

you doesn't even know how to watches on deck and kept

25:22

given you yeast infections and if he hears from

25:24

their that's my opinion of him as

25:27

him as

25:28

he can fuck off

25:31

three per guy that

25:33

theory think it would the leftovers silk

25:36

i think he didn't ring so bad enough

25:38

i can't

25:40

even ice his own dignity the you tell

25:42

a new guy she doesn't even i had a wash

25:44

his texts and he seem you telling

25:47

you how to live your life learn how to clean

25:49

your own dx the

25:52

middle east and then maybe you can offer

25:54

any one else persist criticism

26:32

up and i had some relationships that

on showing that dominate and trying to make

26:40

it all about maybe tell you everything

26:43

and i've seen these guys and

26:52

they're always data as i don't know

26:54

if this will ring true to you

26:56

from the outside looking in hugo oh

inside and that's why you have to be means

27:30

your girlfriend

i feel that it took me until

27:39

well after my relationship was over

27:41

to you ain't

27:43

that it was a d a sense because

27:47

let me a while to realize it's abuse

27:49

is not like intentional

27:51

like abuses lake darling

27:54

times you know just because a person has so

27:56

much shame and

27:58

pain is ellen calvin trauma

28:01

that they won't deal with

28:03

in a healthy way that it has no

28:07

like when you don't m t are kept

28:09

it overflows into someone elses

28:12

it's like it's you you know shit like his

28:14

dad was really really abusive

28:17

and he never dealt with that in a healthy

28:19

way to their now

28:22

their was abusive to me and

28:25

anywhere that he was even

28:27

know he's a nerd like he was like

28:29

a little nerd like when he

28:31

they'd hit me it was

28:33

like

28:34

we were

28:35

again only plausible deniability

28:39

and see what they would usually

28:41

what it would be a to be having a nightmare

28:43

and his fleet in sure

28:45

i would like i think about

28:52

him up for a nightmare learn

28:55

28:57

everyday

28:59

much that

29:02

you don't be reached that he briefly like with

29:04

you from a nightmare that would be something out understand

29:06

29:15

digitally hitting me and the again

29:18

29:31

twenty points and laugh

29:34

29:38

way to i know that it was a

29:41

yeah like you were like kind

29:43

of as fleet but can we dislike talk

29:46

30:06

well

30:07

sorry finish the dot yes

30:10

dot

30:11

area

30:13

they are you thinking it's interesting

30:15

how a lot of people draw the line

30:18

at shooting that's like the point

30:20

where people get

30:22

i bought up to nine but

30:24

the hating was like the least of my

30:26

problems like problems like care

30:29

about that

30:31

i think suicide

30:33

you have now or started talking about semantics

30:35

and it's starting to connect back i imagine some

30:37

of this thing we say there's people in your life will you

30:39

have to take responsibility for your and to and you

30:41

sit in goths yeah

30:44

yeah and people may go will can you really through

30:46

the word abuse around he was really hitting

30:48

you will he did well you seven know

30:50

fighters i woke up in this man he's a good

30:52

guy and like he's real fucks up in his troubles

30:55

as or here's the thing

30:57

and again i was going hard at him before

30:59

and i'll say this

31:01

he'd allowed to be fucked up to he's

31:03

allowed to have a city that are dumb cursing so

31:05

much in this one but stories like this if you've

31:07

listened to the show for a while you know stories like this always

31:10

send me into a race the same interests

31:12

as he's allowed to

31:14

have to have bad that

31:16

he's allowed to have been through a lot he's allowed

31:18

to have have it it damage him she's

31:21

even allowed you

31:23

had it boiled over in ways that he can't

31:25

control if we're going to

31:27

take all of their had start getting into semantic

31:29

debate about what does that really abuse

31:32

them and are you gonna take your response was

31:34

sh

31:36

we start debating word choices

31:38

that's what matters if you want to go

31:40

a baby it wasn't abusive he says you guys mix

31:43

together was extraordinarily unhealthy well

31:45

okay , it was extraordinarily unhealthy

31:47

thing that sounded like it was was

31:50

its best day mentally

31:53

exhausting and way more often

31:55

than that

31:56

somewhat dangerous for us in a

31:58

at the very least

31:59

the steam and at other times supers

32:02

and screaming in your face it is aiding

32:04

news screaming while you're driving like

32:07

unpleasant to think about these are images that

32:09

sound mean

32:12

it feel unsafe when you pressure me brain so it's

32:17

like

32:18

yeah

32:19

yeah response go for it to

32:21

see what i'm saying i'm mike i don't care about the hell has

32:23

to be and said look i was gone hardly task

32:26

as a pieces and i think all that suits but

32:28

it also is if all those things

32:30

are true about him he's allowed to be

32:32

as messed up as he is that if he's

32:34

not dealing with yes and is rolling downhill

32:36

to you that is ultimately his responsibility

32:40

to try to be the one to break the cycle and i don't

32:42

really care about a semantic to be is a

32:44

situation that you need desperately to get out

32:46

of call it what you want but

32:48

who cares about the debate surrounding

32:50

it

32:52

semantic

32:55

argument is one i've actually gotten

32:57

so extremely hung up

32:59

on

33:01

the you're you're mentioning like my college experience

33:04

as it's actually pretty

33:07

either way i think a lot

33:09

of my friends have treated me

33:11

after decisive

33:16

after

33:18

all the crazy live

33:19

the screaming the f word as loud as i said

33:22

i'm just gonna just gonna and say coffee

33:26

it

33:30

turned out pretty pretty silly

33:32

ah we we

33:34

have a hell of a such i would make

33:36

such a pipes reality

33:40

show and i'll get answered continue

33:46

the i am i

33:49

always been

33:51

no i gotta do this relationship

33:53

right and then i try to do the whole

33:55

with you know we're in his friend group

33:57

like all of her friends are sort of intertwined

34:00

i'm in a crazy the cordial thing

34:03

for a while then as

34:05

i started to eat i have

34:07

i've been in therapy for like a long time

34:09

and it's been really really hope

34:14

never in my therapist is

34:16

such a boom early game i like

34:18

met him and was like i'm gonna have to chase therapist

34:22

now that she's also be that

34:24

surplus i've ever had it

34:27

, such different people but i think that's

34:29

what i need is like a person is very

34:31

different for me ah right

34:36

the attorney boomer dude oh

34:40

and then one quickly only fazed anybody

34:43

anybody listening is dealing

34:45

with something doctor romany on

34:47

you tube or a i'm a and

34:49

i has been the

34:51

hurry life changing to me as parents

34:54

like see amazing

34:57

and , said , i

34:59

said lot of my ranges from

35:01

college as a kind of people that story

35:05

time they say believe women

35:07

you know this in the women who

35:09

have have for i mean

35:11

i target as you know i think

35:14

you know my ex who is like

35:16

one of your best friends was we

35:19

have you to me and

35:22

and

35:24

i know

35:26

the danger that conversation and like

35:29

that coming hundred cases are a crisis

35:32

he noted somebody may cry back

35:34

and the latest don't see anything

35:36

about yeah

35:39

i would be guys and they always english springer

35:42

and a hold him accountable and a much to

35:44

our are you holding them accountable i know

35:46

what you guys talk about you

35:49

guys are you talking about like

35:51

d stuff like you guys don't

35:55

i just know they're not i did one

35:57

friend she was only thing you

35:59

know

35:59

he yeah be

36:02

rigor like to know like any

36:04

abuser i would be up and

36:06

it's like okay like that

36:08

gray why don't you just start by

36:11

not being friends with them that's

36:13

a great start and then you can think about

36:15

beating them up later

36:17

its paws right there and for any of

36:19

my young people listening i want you to know the

36:21

dissolved rooted in effect that i really believe

36:24

in the power of you and i hope this is an

36:26

eye opening scene when you emerge

36:28

those new values and ethics that young generations

36:31

come up with with lived experience that's

36:34

, they start to me for comment and

36:37

way i'll stop being an armchair

36:39

philosopher who think they can be right back

36:45

they began to all of our advertisers never

36:47

going to finish off the phone call

36:51

why don't you just start by not

36:53

being friends with them that's a great

36:55

start and then you can think about beating them

36:57

up later know

37:01

as and as and as this is all made

37:03

me very angry

37:05

infuriating to see

37:07

my friend code believe women you

37:09

know listen to women alleged they're

37:11

like neck and that they're just hi

37:14

philippe thing you are hanging out with my

37:16

abuser and like now

37:19

it is very frustrating glad he handled it

37:21

hasn't always been the most grateful

37:24

i , say but i also think

37:27

i just gotta give myself gotta little bit a great

37:29

as be goes everybody

37:32

makes mistakes and that's

37:35

okay

37:35

yeah ah

37:39

say couple things couple things if i can

37:42

that's all very real yeah and i'm sure

37:44

this censor yourself skill

37:46

the remove yourself from a situation

37:48

that's unhealthy in and things like

37:51

this make you feel

37:53

very alone in when you got

37:55

when you have friends who are the ones post i believe

37:57

all women who don't believe you imagine

38:00

this extraordinary and lonely and loneliness

38:03

is , a feeling that as a companion

38:06

companion even worse stuff rape on

38:11

it's been

38:13

but

38:15

i'm really lucky because

38:18

the

38:20

like pretty good at

38:23

making friends around

38:25

so oh

38:29

year is like sort of a starting over

38:32

and , been leaning in few like

38:34

acquaintanceship if that's a

38:36

weird but but i never would

38:39

have if i didn't have all these they can see

38:41

from like friend people who i no longer

38:43

consider my friends and

38:46

friends just some sort of realizing that way my

38:49

old friend group we're

38:52

for me on

38:55

so like

38:58

it's it's welcome few me

39:01

when i'm sorry a few

39:04

like new people and becoming

39:06

closer with them

39:08

a sam

39:11

going to be very the speckled

39:14

how i freeze the following because i don't want to betray

39:16

something avast is set on the shows is i

39:18

think people give young generations

39:21

too much

39:22

shit

39:25

the

39:25

i don't gamble

39:27

it's easy to say all no

39:30

anyones engine z or saw straight like

39:32

that's the dialogue is being raised sauce

39:34

to say care what , you

39:36

talking about us know

39:39

that a good stuff that a letter i think we've rolled her

39:41

eyes a younger generations too much i

39:43

think that

39:44

the

39:47

i think it's very easy to be dismissive of

39:49

of the younger people and

39:52

it's the i don't understand the impulse

39:54

because younger generations are you are correct

39:56

like ninety percent of the time when it comes any

39:58

sort of thanks for what are

39:59

say as

40:02

you brought up something that jumps out at me

40:04

which is this idea that you know you have the people out there

40:07

i would i would beat up any abuse if i

40:09

ever heard about it a bizarre i'd be the muppets

40:11

the city when you go life

40:13

is ultimately the

40:16

collection of lived experiences right

40:19

and sometimes i think when people were still

40:23

the younger set to their life when they've

40:25

just gonna high school started college like

40:27

now i'm old enough to see that as use

40:29

for in , pretty big way

40:32

seen a single of those those

40:34

are the those are the tough words of

40:36

someone who has lived the experience

40:39

experience your hopes that now that

40:41

someone's living me see if they'll if

40:44

thought about talking the talk it's about walking

40:46

the walk and that in and life walking

40:49

the walk is not i'm gonna i'm gonna grab

40:51

a bad go beat don't let any abuse

40:53

it's like know you're gonna run

40:55

into situations and nice where

40:58

you gotta be there for friend where

41:00

were you gotta just some lies in the sand and go

41:05

it's much more layered that's

41:08

because i'm sure there's some people that are just sit

41:10

near

41:11

when he's not an abuser and then you

41:13

see them posted photos see it on instagram

41:15

in your life what's up i'm sure there are other

41:17

people going yeah a your relationship

41:19

did that really dark and works for me outside it

41:22

seems a huge output through the worst of it but

41:24

i , like he needs a lot to help and i want

41:27

to be that type of person who will try

41:29

to help loses doesn't happen again you know

41:31

that's more layered and more real

41:33

and more the kinds of tough choices that you have

41:36

to make in real life as you live experience

41:39

so it also a directly it does sound

41:41

like you have a lot of friends wary ego

41:43

is it is it is

41:45

novel to voice what

41:47

you would do in a situation but until

41:49

you've been in it you don't really know and

41:53

that's that's eye opening thing as and

41:55

it stinks it stinks for you to have to

41:57

be what sounds

41:59

like the unfortunately

42:02

kind of scientific and

42:05

shaw by which allowed to your friend group may be

42:07

learned that you can talk

42:09

all you want happens , don't really

42:11

know what you're going to do and you gotta hope your moral compass

42:14

is good enough to guide

42:16

you in a way you'll feel good about money

42:18

sleep when you try to lay down and go to sleep at

42:20

night it that's real life you know

42:24

i think a lot of my

42:26

friends

42:29

right i get after

42:32

we broke up by the

42:34

few months later after i started to realize like oh

42:37

this is a good seriously abusive relationship

42:39

for a long time i started

42:41

to tell my friends hey

42:43

you know if you're inviting

42:46

already replace coal and it's don't

42:48

invite me is that one ago i don't have been

42:50

well because one second else

42:52

one of flags or it's totally fine and like

42:54

a grown up a bit right around twenty two minutes

42:57

and you know me sir we flag that make sure

42:59

editors cause we're not what can we get new and

43:01

any trouble sweet

43:04

like that when i named don't worry about

43:06

it

43:08

yeah i got my friend like if you

43:10

invite him to sell invite

43:12

me i don't want to be in the same room as him

43:15

and learned slowly became like

43:17

job

43:20

i just stopped getting invited the

43:23

to the a weakened by hand which

43:25

was like the

43:28

really really cash and

43:31

because it was like all

43:34

right oh i i

43:36

i sort of made this february

43:39

i'd like giving people the go to

43:42

hang out with my abuser and i

43:45

don't know he can city but it also my

43:47

eyes to those it's oh okay i just

43:49

won't be friends with these people yeah

43:52

alternate i get his say things that i'm

43:54

exaggerating because they

43:57

, this , of i get i

43:59

haven't talked to them that too many saw

44:01

the conversation been which i reiterate

44:05

my parents the people on don't doing

44:07

that bad it very

44:10

frustrating because he do that i

44:13

don't expect you to to reiterate the

44:15

you know what happens you and it's like okay

44:17

but yeah judith

44:20

inherently doubt believe me

44:23

and i , a lot of people think

44:25

my use of the word abuses like extremely

44:28

exaggerate korean that i am trying

44:30

to deflect accountability for what was

44:32

like equally toxic between us us

44:35

the people closest to me has been like

44:38

yeah we could say like you did like

44:40

one or two thing but like like

44:44

but what you did not hold

44:47

like like it just

44:49

is not even closely measure

44:52

to a heated zeal but

44:55

the best friends that are

44:56

the

44:59

do you think about this advantage of the word abuse

45:01

because that's one thing i run into a lot

45:03

as a lot of people thinking that my

45:06

you for the way to do is like very

45:10

that you're sorry or that my

45:12

i like meeting up the experience

45:15

in my hand is that i don't

45:17

really i

45:21

cannot be

45:22

what are you being harsh on him

45:25

or you're not considering his side of the coin

45:27

or whatever it is they can come

45:29

up with all the reasons they want is you are

45:31

allowed to use that word and it should be taken

45:33

very seriously when it's used

45:36

and if they desire running so

45:38

if they decide you're exaggerating or being histrionic

45:41

then then let them

45:43

go and choose and let them

45:45

make that choice and like you said

45:47

understand that snow friend years anyway but

45:49

here's another thing that if

45:52

that if that it sounds like

45:54

i'm able to think of as is outside observer

45:57

that i it sounds the

46:00

be an aide maybe there's a thought you've had that

46:03

is something i'm wondering is i understand ice

46:06

if you smile on my i can see this idea

46:08

that friends aren't listening to you and it makes

46:10

you want to rip your hair our and and you feel like some

46:13

of it is the third judging your story

46:15

the , of it does severity

46:18

of it it we're also talking

46:20

yeah the guy who for six for

46:23

managed to stop you from dressing how

46:25

you want it managed to make you have a dialogue

46:27

in your head that you were all

46:29

for it to

46:31

the degree murder

46:32

yoga had been of very

46:35

very noisy how to run the food in the

46:37

i was dreamily ,

46:40

and and a little social

46:42

little and actually like i'm

46:45

actually competent thing that like

46:48

the they were very charismatic

46:50

persists like think people

46:53

like , but like back then

46:55

i was so ah socially

46:58

squeamish and like he

47:00

was like yell at me after parties and do it

47:02

why did you say that sea levels of

47:04

for you made everybody hate you and

47:06

it's that's very isolating thing because

47:09

he had me convinced that like none of

47:11

my friends with like me if it weren't for

47:13

him like he's the reason

47:15

anybody talks to me because i'm sad

47:18

yeah years so

47:22

yeah , hear what your that's against such

47:24

a group it makes me squeamish year you're so

47:26

lucky to have him around because without him you'd

47:28

be this outcast on the fringes of society

47:31

unable to communicate communicate

47:33

of it and it's untrue but keep in mind

47:35

he was able

47:38

you create that environment keep

47:42

you in any for six years so

47:44

, also a chance yeah this is someone

47:47

who clearly clearly look if

47:49

any of your friends perceived as the way you're

47:51

saying it to me right now as you've

47:53

laid it out over the past forty five minutes none

47:55

of them would be arguing they'd be going at

47:58

worst they beyond our of that abuse it's

48:00

real fucked up like that that that was needed

48:02

me saying that sienna yeah

48:04

there's something to be said yes this

48:06

person's very masterful of manipulation

48:09

and some of these friends who are

48:11

cutting you out

48:13

that's probably fair to say i

48:15

have to imagine this guy can as many

48:18

of these you will tell me can , be a

48:20

hell of a charmer in the right situation

48:23

also knows how to be the likes of the party

48:25

when they wanted to be that there's people would be shocked

48:27

to hear that to said that he of associates

48:30

that does his assistant or only i lazy ships

48:32

he might be plan these people to and in

48:34

my experience again as as a guy who's now

48:37

i mean it's so funny i've been through phases

48:39

of my life do in this show of these years were

48:41

unarmed in my forties and i'm a dad

48:43

like i am demonstrably have an older

48:45

lifestyle than you but i go

48:48

i know versions of this and what happens

48:50

is this there's there's gonna be friends you'll lose

48:52

and it's gonna suck and it's can drive you nuts

48:54

now and here's a

48:56

gonna happen either she's gonna get help

48:59

and shape up

49:00

and he's gonna own it and apologize in

49:02

some fashion

49:04

war that never going to happen his

49:06

life's gonna get darker and weirder

49:08

and he's gonna there's , be

49:10

ah i'm a pattern of people

49:12

just going any to get away from this person

49:14

cause this is this is is

49:17

it's twisted outlay minutes

49:19

and is sadly years

49:21

down the line you will then start hearing from people

49:24

who go a i wish

49:26

i had listened see a harder cause i actually

49:28

just had actually falling out with this guy or like

49:30

i got some distance him and realized actually

49:33

do some really twisted stamina

49:35

and that is kind of the sad reality

49:37

he's in you're not the only person is able

49:39

to manipulate if he could do it to you can

49:41

probably reframe the conversation for

49:43

a lot of these friends and he probably has

49:45

yeah trying to dodge responsibility or has enough

49:48

of a narcissist to convince them that his truth is the

49:50

only truth and they're buying into a to

49:52

and they're hearing his side of the story in and going

49:54

maybe she is being histrionics

49:56

crazy but he's manipulating everybody it's

49:59

who he is it's he's on

50:04

i would call him as vulnerable narcissist

50:06

sooner villages main manipulation

50:09

tactic is katie and

50:12

our civil she's i'm

50:14

still getting people to feel bad

50:16

for that was like his name

50:20

and then you yeah yeah

50:22

he's a funny guy is a carnival i for the party

50:25

but his main thing is them romany

50:28

video she uses example

50:30

and i was like this example is like exactly

50:33

what happened to me as a street he

50:35

stands alone by himself at parties

50:38

and he wait for like a nice person to come

50:40

up to him and just be like they're nice

50:42

though and then he likes exploit their nice list

50:45

to get under feel bad for him

50:47

now

50:48

he got deliberating from there

50:51

i , i missing with my friend

50:53

group if i get any apologies

50:56

i'll be really lucky i really don't expect to

50:58

hear any apology and although

51:00

i think he will abuse is max girlfriend

51:02

nuts with that said that big

51:04

that britain the rubber this

51:07

whole thing is like ah

51:10

the will it be if his ex girlfriend

51:12

still do it very slowly like

51:14

the the frog in the boiling water or whatever

51:18

he'll he'll be very careful about

51:20

which girl he chooses it'll be

51:22

somebody rather younger than him on

51:25

, is new to i'm like basil

51:28

and obama and friendly but friendly

51:30

the big enough metropolitan police

51:32

slava he says sheboygan yeah

51:35

los angeles ca money

51:38

yeah it'll be somebody new to this city

51:41

who doesn't really know that many people the

51:44

oh charlie

51:47

surrogates she'll be a little bit younger than him and

51:49

should be really nice and really insecure

51:52

supervisor the expense of i had

51:54

to guess and then he'll probably abuse

51:57

or over time he'll take longer

51:59

than he did with

51:59

the

52:01

that

52:02

like when he started doing the

52:04

like tour be little stupid heating

52:06

stuff after like five years

52:09

he'll start after like ten years

52:11

i think with the next person

52:13

or maybe to you never

52:15

know

52:17

yeah maybe is organising a is

52:19

actually fairly priced the pillow by her

52:21

head

52:22

like a year to see this is a modern

52:25

i , hit you can i was having a nightmare

52:28

makes sued if you're listening to this someday

52:30

that's how i hear you you didn't

52:32

he am i having an having that's

52:36

how you sound to me second you give me the wrong

52:38

kind of bandied that's how you

52:40

sound to me sound center and

52:43

i shouldn't as yeah on of i wants

52:45

you to know my side but that is is

52:47

that and that is why has to behave that way

52:49

on the inside because that's how he knows he's proceeds

52:52

on the outside you know an arm

52:55

you know what are i also want to see to add

52:57

to this was fined by we got less than twelve minutes

52:59

this would you just broke down

53:01

of you gonna find somebody younger

53:03

than i'm probably somebody his new to the area

53:06

probably somebody who doesn't have like

53:08

have social support system in that area

53:11

is gonna get to them first and be the foundations

53:13

or the stereo and out

53:15

there probably so many people listening

53:18

right now going wow

53:21

i'm not in this after like

53:23

i'm not in or or would like to be seeing

53:25

i was in or the thing i am in

53:29

it's not exactly the same

53:31

when it as some commonalities and

53:33

i bet that little stretch right they're

53:35

just made some people

53:37

open their eyes were wide and go wow

53:41

because there there are patterns sister hearing

53:43

steering that you found out that he's to punch to pillow

53:45

next says x

53:47

then you say you when he would come out of a nightmare

53:51

fake adam and and then you describe

53:53

him to and i remember i remember and i

53:55

won't lie i remember being

53:57

like i'm so tortured and tortured

53:59

and

53:59

liquid why doesn't anybody understand me i'm a comedic

54:02

genius and that was me back in the day

54:04

but that doesn't mean that

54:06

i punch a pillow next to somebody said

54:08

it means on my car

54:11

a dramatic and in secure

54:13

guy trying to find his place the world and it's on

54:15

me the go find it the on me to

54:17

go figure out how to make those the yeah positive motivation

54:21

not things where you find somebody and isolate

54:23

them so you can have a

54:25

human punching bag to make you feel better

54:28

that you're so tortured and dark and no one

54:30

understands yeah that's stories been

54:32

that story i send us a thing and another

54:34

thing to narcissist don't understand stories

54:38

not an inch thing and it's been told a million

54:40

times over and every college

54:42

towns got ten of those this

54:45

he he wanted always i

54:48

would be like you know obviously

54:51

very frustrated with

54:53

the abuse and i would be like

54:55

i really think you need to get into therapy

54:58

and , like to talk fear of friendly

55:01

cost is somebody who is it nice because it seems

55:03

like you kind of using is that the only

55:06

sort of emotional support in your life like as life

55:08

like need like start

55:10

talking shit reaching out your friends

55:12

and be like hey can i please like

55:15

the universally voyager stuff like

55:18

trauma and , that you don't

55:20

understand like guys don't do

55:22

that the guise of talk to their friendly

55:24

damage okay what are

55:26

you you asked

55:29

if you have to talk to your friends because of

55:31

, younger abuse like it and i didn't articulate

55:34

it as a deadly you're abusing me you

55:36

have to figure something out some

55:38

sort of emotional outlet or because

55:40

you're destroying the it's it's

55:43

cove it was awful lot

55:45

is over but like when we were within see

55:47

editor were within so bad

55:49

look it also my town of the reason

55:51

you broke up right there's no escape there's

55:53

no pressure release me start to go where

55:55

home together all the time now and it's becoming

55:57

clear that this is what that eyes

55:59

i don't even get to go out with yeah this

56:02

is a couple nights a week ago take the driver whatever

56:05

is any the i better i bet there might

56:07

be a lot of people though it actually made

56:09

me look taken a close look at a broken relationship

56:12

and get to a safe place maybe

56:14

that's one of the silver linings is pandemic

56:16

i bet there's other stories like that out

56:20

inaccurate another specifically brought up yeah

56:24

we could even as you say you saying

56:26

these things that are clear cut patterns and i'm

56:28

telling you there's so many

56:30

of us didn't know that story that

56:32

either

56:34

witnesses in friends or

56:36

were that person or like i said i

56:38

remember being the young him

56:41

in college ah man i misunderstood

56:43

this misunderstood unscarred why does any but again had angered

56:46

also and guess what i did i got a dexterity

56:48

eventually and i took pills

56:50

yeah and i

56:53

started asking a doctor like a job

56:55

i feel so fucked up

56:57

it's have you and he'd go you

56:59

i yeah here's some patterns

57:01

that unfolds and i fixed it up

57:04

a boy continue to work to

57:06

fix it rather but

57:08

i also wanted to ask you

57:10

, before that you've as used to job as

57:12

together and it's it's funny that you said he felt

57:14

like a calls because one

57:17

thing that cult leaders historically have

57:19

done is they will get people to do heavy

57:21

drugs both to

57:23

do something taboo an illegal were

57:25

now illegal in it together we have this thing

57:27

where you subtle as you subtle minimal subtly

57:29

feel like you can just

57:31

out me as a person who does

57:34

that or let me get you

57:36

to a place where your minds not totally right

57:38

so that i can also further kind

57:40

of be the one whispering in your ear and

57:43

defining it as it disconnected from reality

57:45

or for the i'm wondering if that was any

57:47

element of it there

57:50

the thing i

57:52

has

57:53

never thought about this before

57:56

my my whole college friends

57:59

a dead i don't

58:02

be buried a lot of acid but like probably

58:04

more than most college

58:06

friend groups

58:10

then i think a lot of the guys in my group

58:13

would use acid as of

58:15

today this

58:17

is like when i use as

58:19

said i can cry and be

58:21

emotional with my bro the

58:25

i can't do that without the drug

58:28

since i was like every place and and

58:31

, i see

58:34

in security is very galvanized

58:36

by ego and it's really

58:38

hard to be emotionally vulnerable with your

58:40

friends when you got like this

58:42

in your ego sort of like protecting

58:45

your insecurity

58:46

you can't break down that wow

58:49

and like drugs would be the only

58:51

the way that they could sort of like

58:55

download layers of going

58:57

to be like stoner bowl openly people

59:00

around them

59:01

we don't have any

59:03

family and i want to see you i believe

59:06

you know ivory studies about how they're starting to

59:08

figure out ways to use em dia may

59:10

or or mushrooms in

59:12

treatment and i

59:14

believe and yeah and i think said it suits

59:17

what

59:18

the dangerous about that dialogue is

59:20

it it does create what you

59:22

just described which is this is

59:25

our therapy the think know

59:28

there's clinical trials been done with this

59:30

all these things are being done with our

59:33

our actual trained doctors merging

59:36

treatments like this

59:37

when he had trauma

59:39

relief like we talked to someone on the show

59:42

months ago i might be here soon a day all

59:44

blend together you know somebody who

59:47

used i asked her to help other

59:49

combat veterans can come to a peaceful

59:52

place and you are right ,

59:54

right there's a lot of value in this but you

59:56

have to have a game plan as saw end

59:58

and the the things that are therapeutic

1:00:01

but you can't use them to replace therapy

1:00:04

and you can't pretend

1:00:05

in yeah all that stuff

1:00:08

that is very cold leave

1:00:10

your to say

1:00:11

why don't we do some weird drugs or the other

1:00:14

big coal one and i'm not prying and i'm fine

1:00:16

this is what happened but another similar one why

1:00:18

don't we sort of live like a kinky

1:00:21

sexual life and them when you try to remove

1:00:23

yourself from the cold the

1:00:25

cult leader goes well maybe your dad or get an

1:00:27

email and i'll tell him all the stuff

1:00:29

you've done when it comes to drugs and sex assigned

1:00:31

you got i don't want them oh my god

1:00:33

i in it in l like that type of stuff

1:00:36

is classic cult leader

1:00:40

show black male is like

1:00:42

such a thing in the relationship

1:00:46

you'd , like why don't i just tell

1:00:48

everybody about like this thing

1:00:50

that you did this one time and

1:00:52

i would like freak out and oh hey i won't

1:00:54

i won't ask you for anything like

1:00:57

ask him for a thing

1:00:59

they had to not yell at me or somebody

1:01:01

be like reason i yell at you

1:01:03

because you don't understand if

1:01:05

understand if yell at one time he was like

1:01:09

they yell at you excited the

1:01:13

same way that people protest like

1:01:15

speeches and kill people are yelling

1:01:17

nobody understands or listen i

1:01:20

, like blizzard and same comparison

1:01:24

comparison yourself as a time you and i

1:01:26

certainly believe this again in delhi

1:01:28

yet needs your black lives matter as

1:01:31

a banana

1:01:33

well a and i mean the

1:01:35

old school right the boomers have like the

1:01:37

hippies who cry who secretly hit

1:01:39

their wives and for ,

1:01:41

generation i think it was like our the guys

1:01:43

who really love weezer who are the most massage

1:01:45

and is sick people behind closed doors the nerd

1:01:48

who becomes the bully you know the

1:01:50

sensitive tortured are actually wants to claim

1:01:52

that his own inner pesos

1:01:55

is the actual human equivalent of the

1:01:57

entire black lives matter movement he can

1:01:59

actually just

1:01:59

then his brain

1:02:01

the said

1:02:03

yeah

1:02:03

linked to here and sadly not shocking

1:02:06

to hear

1:02:09

yeah one

1:02:11

thing i'll say about he

1:02:14

i don't like like it if

1:02:16

somebody like to wake

1:02:19

the friday this like somebody who

1:02:21

was there is an abuser and they want

1:02:24

to be like the guy that hold them accountable

1:02:28

that person the

1:02:32

the thinking about the victim as well

1:02:34

and staying in touch with them and like hearing

1:02:37

their side of things and listening to

1:02:39

their one because ,

1:02:42

might be the guy

1:02:44

who's are you know this guy accountable

1:02:47

while your intentions are good your actions might

1:02:49

actually be really misguided he

1:02:51

says like a

1:02:54

lot of my friends i won't be therapy

1:02:56

because the haven't had

1:02:58

this out loud that like they think they're for their kids

1:03:00

done about , but

1:03:02

it's like a few i don't know

1:03:06

there

1:03:07

they're the same race fire also narcissist

1:03:10

are incapable of shame

1:03:12

they are like incapable

1:03:14

, embassy they are incapable of

1:03:16

feeling guilty but

1:03:19

their guilt isn't really productive select

1:03:22

the they feel bad

1:03:24

about a thing one thing like that that

1:03:26

my ex would always do

1:03:28

he would feel guilty about

1:03:30

the way he treated me as he to reach

1:03:32

out or he'd like show up to an advantage

1:03:35

of the same time as me to like time

1:03:37

like have off a little heart to heart

1:03:39

with me oh ,

1:03:41

that was is not what i wanted at all and it's like

1:03:43

the actions you take the in order to assuage your

1:03:45

guilt are actively making me

1:03:48

your victim where you're trying to make feel

1:03:50

better you're making me feel so much word

1:03:53

of

1:03:54

the talent

1:03:57

you're gonna try to pay

1:03:59

the

1:03:59

it through a try so hard to hold people

1:04:02

accountable often like

1:04:04

you sooner really misguided way because

1:04:06

they're again they're not listening to

1:04:08

women they're not listening to this of

1:04:10

and what they want they're just doing what they

1:04:12

think is right

1:04:14

the could be made up the right thing in their own head

1:04:17

and they're hoping against hope that

1:04:19

they haven't really the

1:04:22

mischaracterized this person so severely

1:04:24

and that they weren't smart enough to see

1:04:26

it and they're hoping they haven't bet on

1:04:28

the wrong yeah that degree that this would imply

1:04:30

that they have and again it's one of

1:04:32

the things that i'll say sadly i

1:04:37

lived experience then

1:04:39

i'd i'd idea i'd

1:04:42

bet you're going to find out is through

1:04:44

are a lot of people who heard reflections

1:06:35

of what they're dealing with right now and what you just

1:06:37

1:06:39

of people not as to

i think you may have just flattened

1:06:46

, learning curve a little bit for a lotta people out

1:06:48

there and and maybe help them see that there

1:06:50

are situations they need to remove themselves from
