[quote=Anonymous][quote] My mother's therapist pointed out that being overly doting to a partner while being offensive to outsiders of the relationship and pushing isolation was a tactic abusers use. [/quote] It absolutely is. They're creating a dependency. Like a drug you're convinced you can't live without. It's the reason abuse victims go back to their abusers again and again. It's a drug-like dependency for the abusers, too. They know it's wrong but can't stop. He was likely abused too at some point. That's why you have to keep at her and make her understand that it's not her fault and she should feel no shame whatsoever for what happened. It takes awhile but she'll see where support and care can really be found. [/quote]
