[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She didn't say accepting a divorce with dignity leads to domestic violence. She said a focus on privacy in our society leads to domestic violence and child abuse. [/quote]

[b]It leads to emotional abuse. Keeping silent and suffering and the abuser counting on you never telling anyone.  That’s emotional abuse. [/b][b] The gaslighting and the lies.[/quote]

NP.  I still don't see the emotional abuse.  He's not even there.  It sounds like he isn't talking to her.  Is she going through emotional turmoil?  Yes.  Is the divorce his fault?  Yes

She doesn't have to keep silent, but her emotional turmoil is there whether she keeps silent or takes out a full page add in the newspaper. Emotional turmoil is not the same as emotional abuse.

Or does she mean keeping silent makes her the emotional abuser at home?  I honestly cannot follow. [/quote]

Right. She's linking her embarrassment to emotional abuse when they are not the same thing.[/quote]

The emotional abuse was going on for years with his deceit, narcissistic manipulation and gaslighting.  Being blindsided and finding out everything for years you thought to be true is not is severely disorienting and can cause a mental break.[/quote]

Everything I’ve read about him sounds like a classic narcissist.  Narcissistic abuse is like none other.[/quote]
