The other day I was searching my abusive ex's name on the archive to see if it's safe to come back yet and what I found out was that he now has a new victim and he's telling her the exact same lies he told me when we first met.
Things like "I broke up with my last ex over a year ago" when in reality it was only months prior.

And her attitude about it is about exactly the same naivety as mine back then. "People can change/everyone deserves a chance/don't trust what xivg says about people because people get schizoposted about for no reason"

It's frustrating for a few reasons:
1. my ex is an abuser who stole almost three years of my life and he does not deserve to drain another person of joy and happiness the way he did to me and his previous exes
2. the new victim reminds me of myself back when I was still full of joy and warmth, and they don't deserve to have their entire personhood dismantled the same way
3. it's tiring for me to care for the welfare of others

Part of me wants to call him out on here and warn her that everything she has heard about him is true, and it is only in these first few months that he seems perfect and flawless.
But I am really tired of caring about the welfare of others. I really just want to live my life and not give a shit. I mean people around the world are getting abused and worse as I type this post but I don't feel any responsibility for the welfare of those people.

So why do I feel like it's my responsibility to try and protect some other person on here that I don't even know?

I know people are responsible for their own actions. If she has been warned and she has seen all his past actions on here and she STILL chooses to give him another chance and believe that he has changed, then it's just her own fault if she ends up being abused. I know this is the normal take.

I just have trouble accepting it, and maybe it's because that means I'd have to accept that I am at fault for putting myself in that situation back then.
