OH my goodness Cat123- I have bad news, I think we are married to the same exact man!!!!!!!
I used to go in-freakin-sane trying to keep up in a conversation with my husband. He is a master of fact-manipulation. I would go around and around - chasing what I thought was the truth, only to have him swipe it away and replace it with what he wanted me to believe. And EVERY time, I ended up being the one owing an apology!!
My self-esteem was bludgeoned to death. And I truly started to believe him and think, "Maybe I AM crazy!!"
As I detach from it, I realized I am not crazy. I have been manipulated and lied to.
