Hello I try to stay close to people who are healthy (mrenatlly and emoninally and spirtually) and are growing themselves...like a recovery group of some type and a good 12 step group in which i can get some objectivity... But to maitain some healthy boundaries as well...when a very manipulative person (male or female) tire to use their manipulative and controlling tactics and shame me, for their problem... i stay separate from them and realize its more abot the person who is talking rather than about what they are saying in tryin got blame me for their problem....this for me is called "detachment"....to detach with love is another bit of work in which i can mature and work towards being around someone who is very controlling and abusive...DONT TAKE ON THEIR SHAME.... We can give it back to them...

It's very simple, how did you feel about yourself before the relationship? If you are in an abusive relationship you will suffer from lowered self esteem, internalized anger which turns into depression and more than likely some anxiety(a feeling of always walking on egg shells). Do a comparison on how you felt before the relationship and how your partner has made you feel now. And just remember if you made it before without him, you can make it again.

Can get an answer from an abuser if you ask them reason for their abusive nature?

No, because if they are still being abusive, they see the world from another perspective. If you are expecting that this will happen or that you can convince someone that they are abusive, chances are that you won't see it happen. About all you can do is to call them on their behavior, saying how it makes you feel. A good book is Patricia Evan's The Abusive Relationship.

How community affect the mental health of an individual?

If you are in an abusive relationship, it will certainly effect you. If you had a dirty house when you were a child, for example, you can develop OCD later in life. Everything about the environment that you live in can affect mental health and that is why it is so important to maintain an environment that makes you feel good and at peace.


Why was he trying not to be abusive but he was?

Men who are abusive generally have learned this from the environment in which they grew up. Some men have a short fuse and blast off with either verbally abusive words or they become physically abusive with their partner. Some men know deep inside it is wrong, but don't know how to get help and most men refuse to seek psychological counseling because it makes them feel weak and not masculine. If he refuses to get help then you have the power to get out of the abusive relationship.
