You don't have to have a multiple personality disorder to be inconsistent. Most people just don't think very logically.

If everyone who knows your fiancee seems to think he has the traits of a wife-beater should they be believed?
Read the warning signs and make up your own mind. YES! Stalkers and the Borderline Personality The Borderline Personality In recent years psychologists have learned about and done case studies on a new personality disorder which the DSM-III-R classifies as an Axis II disorder- the Borderline Personality . This classification includes such personality disorders as the Anti-social Personality, the Histrionic Personality and the Narcissistic Personality. Several psychologists (including myself) diagonosed my stalker as afflicted with the Borderline Personality. Characteristic of the Borderline (derived from research done by Kreisman & Straus, 1989) are: a shaky sense of identity sudden, violent outbursts oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection brief, turbulent love affairs frequent periods of intense depression eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies an irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to be alone Not much research has been done on the Borderline Personality, and for many years it was difficult to diagnose- and to treat. A Borderline often feels as though his/her life is marked with a distinctive emptiness; a void in which a relationship often acts to fill. Many times the Borderline is a victim of an early dysfunctional family situation and/or emotional/physical abuse by those he/she trusted early on in childhood. The Borderline is psychotic , in the original, psychological meaning of the term: he/she is not in control and not in touch with reality. To the Borderline, a softly spoken word of advice can be construed as a threat on his/her emotional stability. An outsider's viewpoint that the Borderline is not in touch with reality often ends in a bitter and irrational dissassociation from the outsider on the part of the Borderline. Often, the Borderline ends up very much alone and victim to his/her disillusions. The Borderline stalker is very apt to see his/her actions as perfectly justified; he/she has paranoid disillusions which support these-often with disturbing frequency. The Borderline often has brief love affairs which end abruptly, turbulently and leave the Borderline with enhanced feelings of self-hatred, self-doubt and a fear that is not often experienced by rational people. When the Borderline's relationships turn sour, the Borderline often begins to, at first, harass the estranged partner with unnecessary apologies and/or apologetic behavior (i.e. letters of apology 'from the heart', flowers delivered at one's place of employment, early morning weeping phonecalls, etc.). However, the Borderline does not construe his/her behavior as harassment- to the Borderline he/she is being 'responsible' for his/her past behaviors. The next phase of the Borderline Personality develops relatively quickly and soon he/she feels suddenly betrayed, hurt, etc. and seeks to victimize the estranged partner in any way he/she can Strangely enough, this deleterious behavior is always coupled with a need to be near or in constant contact with the estranged partner . While sending threats to the estranged partner, it is very common for the Borderline to begin to stalk his/her estranged partner in an effort to maintain contact. This effort is motivated by the excruciating fear that the Borderline will end up alone and anger that [the estranged partner] has put him/her in this position. We are finding, in many cases, that a great deal of stalking behavior is associated with Borderline or related personality disorders. Earlier research did not incorporate the Borderline Personality in stalking profiles; research now is beginning to focus on the Borderline in such disorders as Erotomania, etc.
If you know of someone that has been a party of abuse by proxy should the party be told he's an abuser?
I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking. Unfortunately, many people are abused and nothing happens. On the other side of the story, many people THINK it's abuse when it isn't. I'm afraid you'd have to be a little more specific. Yes!!! Please!!!

Is it abuse if your boyfriend says he breathes for you lives just for you and knows every detail about you?
Abuse is any kind of behavior that violates your boundaries, bothers you, you have asked the abuser to cease and desist, and he or she refuses to do so. if you are not involved with this person it is the making of a stalker and all ties should be broken.

What do you do when your husband gets angry and pins you against the wall and threatens you with a knife then stabs it repeatedly in the wall next to your head?
You get the hell out of there and get a restraining order and divorce him. Are you out of your mind even asking? There is abosolutly no reason to live under these conditions. This is how women get killed and abused because they don't leave. There is help out there-get it-NOW!

Why do you feel such rage after getting out of an abusive relationship?
Probably because you're finally realizing that what your abuser was doing was so manipulative and wrong- that they were basically using you as a rag doll. I've been out of my abusive relationship for a month and a few days now and I still feel that rage.

What would cause someone to rage?
Rage is the result of built-up anger that has not been dealt with. So bascially anything no matter how tiny it is could trigger someone. 9 out of 10 times though, it is not the cause of what you did,but rather something that existed LOOONNG before in this person and what you did just triggered it. Hope that makes sense. Deoends who is this "someone".

Is it normal to have an eerie or irritating feeling about someone even if they're friendly and everyone speaks highly of them?
Go with how you feel about this person. You can't totally judge them unless you have a "real" reason not to trust them, but how you feel about someone the first time you meet them is usually right. Just be cautious and watch that person around you and the people you care about. People suffering from mental health disorders often provoke feelings of unease and "eeriness" in others. It is very normal to have instintive, eerie and irritating feelings about someone even if they appear friendly and everyone speaks highly of them. We often respond to subtle behavioral cues, possibly on a subconscious level. These "eerie and irritating" reactive feelings constitute part of our survival instinct and should not be ignored! Yes, it is normal. Never ignore your gut instinct.

Should a person take emotional abuse from a person because people say it is ok because he was raised that way?
No, abuse should never be OK, no matter why the abuser is doing it. He needs to get counseling and stop doing it. If you have children, they will probably grow up and treat their partners the same way. And possibly you. Abuse is never OK, period. No excuses, explanations, reasons, and pleas make it OK. It is wrong in every form, regardless of circumstances, background, or justification. == WOW!!! I cannot believe this. The truth comes out in many forms.

How do you deal with people who don't believe that your abuser abused you?
You don't deal with them. Disbelieving and pathologizing the victim is another form of abusive conduct. You move on to people who will believe you. Don't try to convince people you were abused, you know what happened to you. I found that the people who associated with my former abusive boyfriend did not believe me. Primarily because abusive people have a way of being charming to the outside world, but to those they "love" they are abusive. Maybe you may want to find a support group in your area to talk about the abuse.

Characteristic of the Borderline (derived from research done by Kreisman & Straus, 1989) are: a shaky sense of identity sudden, violent outbursts oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection brief, turbulent love affairs frequent periods of intense depression eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies an irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to be alone Not much research has been done on the Borderline Personality, and for many years it was difficult to diagnose- and to treat. A Borderline often feels as though his/her life is marked with a distinctive emptiness; a void in which a relationship often acts to fill. Many times the Borderline is a victim of an early dysfunctional family situation and/or emotional/physical abuse by those he/she trusted early on in childhood. The Borderline is psychotic , in the original, psychological meaning of the term: he/she is not in control and not in touch with reality. To the Borderline, a softly spoken word of advice can be construed as a threat on his/her emotional stability. An outsider's viewpoint that the Borderline is not in touch with reality often ends in a bitter and irrational dissassociation from the outsider on the part of the Borderline. Often, the Borderline ends up very much alone and victim to his/her disillusions. The Borderline stalker is very apt to see his/her actions as perfectly justified; he/she has paranoid disillusions which support these-often with disturbing frequency. The Borderline often has brief love affairs which end abruptly, turbulently and leave the Borderline with enhanced feelings of self-hatred, self-doubt and a fear that is not often experienced by rational people. When the Borderline's relationships turn sour, the Borderline often begins to, at first, harass the estranged partner with unnecessary apologies and/or apologetic behavior (i.e. letters of apology 'from the heart', flowers delivered at one's place of employment, early morning weeping phonecalls, etc.). However, the Borderline does not construe his/her behavior as harassment- to the Borderline he/she is being 'responsible' for his/her past behaviors. The next phase of the Borderline Personality develops relatively quickly and soon he/she feels suddenly betrayed, hurt, etc. and seeks to victimize the estranged partner in any way he/she can Strangely enough, this deleterious behavior is always coupled with a need to be near or in constant contact with the estranged partner . While sending threats to the estranged partner, it is very common for the Borderline to begin to stalk his/her estranged partner in an effort to maintain contact. This effort is motivated by the excruciating fear that the Borderline will end up alone and anger that [the estranged partner] has put him/her in this position. We are finding, in many cases, that a great deal of stalking behavior is associated with Borderline or related personality disorders. Earlier research did not incorporate the Borderline Personality in stalking profiles; research now is beginning to focus on the Borderline in such disorders as Erotomania, etc.
Can a narssistic psychological abuser change with counseling?
Pathological narcissism is very hard to "cure", but the narcissist's dysfunctional and abusive behaviors can be sufficiently modified so as not to bother his nearest and dearest any longer. No. There is NO cure for NPD/BPD it requires ongoing lifelong professional psychological counseling. Most people with BPD are in denial and refuse ongoing treatemnt to manage their mental illness. Unless your willing to sell your soul to the devil which is about the same as staying with someone with NPD/BPD it is best to just get out!!!! Break all ties as a stalking stage will take place so take measures to protect yourself. Get Out!!!

Why does an abusive man try to break down your personality and social life and self-esteem?
An abusive man may try to break down your personality, social life, and self-esteem to gain power and control over you. By isolating you from friends and family, making you doubt yourself, and diminishing your confidence, they can manipulate and dominate you more easily. It's a tactic to maintain their abusive behavior and make it harder for you to leave the relationship.
