You bring up something that hurt you… and somehow, ten minutes later, you’re the one defending yourself.
That pattern has a name: DARVO.
Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim & Offender.
Sometimes it’s intentional. Sometimes it’s a deeply learned defense mechanism. Either way, understanding where it comes from doesn’t erase its impact.
Healthy love needs accountability, honest conversations and boundaries that don’t turn into battles. 🤎
