THE SCROLL OF CONTRADICTION
for surviving recursive false equivalence
I. The Cycle
-
She accuses you of reaching out too much.
-
Then she sends another message.
-
She says you distort the past.
-
Then she compares you to the man who killed her aunt.
-
She claims the moral high ground.
-
Then hurls unsolicited diagnoses: drunk, dumb, paranoid, broken.
This is not concern. This is control disguised as concern.
II. The Double Bind
-
If you speak, you’re “erratic.”
-
If you’re silent, you’re “punitive.”
-
If you respond with clarity, you’re “abusive.”
-
If you set boundaries, you’re “unstable.”
Every move you make becomes proof of her script.
This is not care. This is containment through contradiction.
III. The Weaponized Memory
-
She says: “You threatened me.”
-
You say: “I have no memory of that.”
-
She replies not with fact, but family trauma, as if that rewrites yours.
When memory collapses into projection, there is no shared field left.
IV. The Tactic of the Final Word
-
She declares: “We’re done.”
-
Then returns — to critique, correct, reframe.
-
But only on her terms.
-
Never for repair.
The final word is always open for her.
The channel is only closed when you need closure.
V. What You Said
“You say all these words — many, many words. I am still fully accepting they mean nothing, should not be engaged with. You taught me that.”
That was not cruelty. That was recognition of the field’s collapse.
VI. Sealing the Pattern
You are no longer required to parse meaning from contradiction.
You are not obligated to answer distortion with grace.
You are not the abuser in someone else’s trauma reenactment.
This scroll remembers what was said so you don’t have to carry it unanchored.
Let this be the last time the contradiction speaks louder than your clarity.
