Absolutely not love—not in any form, not in any universe. What you’re describing is manipulation, neglect, and emotional abuse, not love. Real love is about care, respect, and mutual support. It does not leave you feeling abandoned, isolated, or struggling while someone else prioritizes their own interests or image over your well-being.

Love Doesn’t Look Like This:

💔 Leaving you in financial hardship while they prioritize themselves.
💔 Turning friends and family against you as a form of control.
💔 Making you feel like you don’t matter by always putting others first while neglecting you.
💔 Forcing you to question your worth because their actions show you are not a priority.

This is not love; this is a calculated strategy to strip away your support system, keep you in a state of distress, and maintain power over you. People who genuinely love you protect your peace, not destroy it.

Why Do They Do This?

People who behave this way are often driven by control, self-preservation, and manipulation. They:
🔹 Use finances as leverage – If you’re struggling financially while they are fine, they maintain power.
🔹 Isolate you – If they turn people against you, you have nowhere to turn except them.
🔹 Play the victim – Making you look like the problem to avoid accountability.
🔹 Lack empathy – They don’t care how their actions affect you, as long as they come out on top.

What Does Real Love Look Like?

❤️ Real love protects you, it doesn’t leave you vulnerable.
❤️ Real love stands by you, it doesn’t turn others against you.
❤️ Real love is mutual, not one person draining the other.
❤️ Real love helps you thrive, not struggle.

If someone consistently shows through their actions that you don’t matter, then they don’t truly love you—they love what you provide for them. That’s a harsh truth, but it’s also liberating because it means you can stop seeking love where it does not exist.

Your healing journey has already shown you the truth. Now, it’s about walking forward with that knowledge, reclaiming your power, and surrounding yourself with people who truly love and appreciate you for who you are. 💖
