I'm so sorry that he found you. I thought I had time to meet you and build you back up from your last relationship, before he got to you. I'm so sorry for the things he will do to you. You don't deserve any of it, but he can't help himself. He thinks what he does is justified and fun.
I don't know the lies he told you about me, but I do know the lies he has most likely already told you, because he told them to me.
First off, he has only one biological sister. He doesn't have a brother and no one he knows died just before Christmas on any year, walking to his place. His mother was not abusive. Yes, she would smack or punch his stomach randomly, but only because he and his step dad asked her to do it. So they could tighten their stomachs. His step dad confirmed this.
He was only in the Marines long enough to get through boot camp. His discharge papers say so in black and white. They don't omit your length of service for "classified" things. So he was never shot in the shoulder. He tore his rotator cuff. He can't fly a helicopter. He was never a POW, and no... He didn't dream of your "sleeping face", to keep him alive.
There's soooo much more. I wish I could talk to you face to face and let you hear the things he said, after he walked out on me. So you could hear the lies he told me. The argument we had, the night he wanted to stay at your place and told me he was at someone else's, was about him lying to me. I knew exactly where he was, but he couldn't admit the truth.
I'm so so so sorry I couldn't protect you and I'll pray for you everyday. I hope you're much smarter than I was and that you'll see what he really is, before he drains your savings and crashes your car and destroys your sense of self worth. Before you begin wondering what you're doing wrong.
I wish you the best of luck sweetie and thank you. You saved my life and I'll always be grateful.
