Why don't they leave their abuser? Why didn't they see it coming? In part 2, I'm sharing how the abuser starts with trapping the victim in a life commitment or contract. Having a child, marriage, buying a home, renting an apartment, getting engaged. Major commitments make the abuser feel safe. Then they SHIFT. They let their guard down and start to slowly chip away at your self-esteem, your sense of happiness, security, and they slowly begin to control as many aspects of your life as they can. What you do, who you see, how you spend your time, where you can go, who you talk to and communicate with, what you buy, they attempt to isolate you and control all your life. Before you know it you're all alone without friends and family to give you perspective and feeling deep shame for what's happening behind closed doors.
And they tell you you're unlovable. Total B.S.!! You are 100% Loveable!!! Please remember that!!
