Abuse involves "mind games". The abuser shifts the blame and guilt to others. He makes them feel insane. Abusers have alloplastic defenses (external locus of control) - they blame others for their misbehavior and failures.
Thus, many victims are not sure at all that they are in an abusive relationship. They feel that something is wrong with THEM - not with their tormentor!
This is further compunded by the secrecy that the abuser imposes on the relationship and the development of a shared psychosis.
yes!
and if one stays too long, and lets these mind games undermine one sufficiently, a person really can lose their way.
it's very important to minimize contact with the abuser, and maximize healthy contacts with other people.
Hi there, your question is spot on. This is the thing with an ambient abuser, you don't even know if you're bein abused or not. You may feel as though your mind is ready to explode, you may feel terrified, confused, depressed. The list goes on. But the strange thing, you cant really put your finger on it. Then when you run it by someone they may say your paranoid, so you believe you must be. I've been there and it was a nightmare. Looking back i have no idea how i got through it, but i did. Put a little distance between yourself and the abuser. Get some therapy to help work out the confusion. You will then be able to make up your own mind! Good luck.
