I'm not too keen on the whole notion of "we as women should empower each other out of relationships like this". It's generalizing women as poor voiceless victims - which is exactly what she's trying to brush off.
You dated an idiot that cheated on you (shocking, people cheat) and called you a psycho (shocking #2, people in toxic relationships call each other names) - not everything is bigger than life.
She's saying it like he kept her in captivity in an underground cell...

You used the word "abuse" not her.

You're generalising. Not her.

But, now you also wish she had described her relationship differently, as though you know it better than she does?
