This ONE article....
Very Very accurately describes what my whole relationship was like. You just get so focused on trying to gain that approval you once had, that false admiration, and you lose track of what is really happening. A control game. A dominance display. An owner telling the dog "good dog!".
You never see it.
It's not that he has turned into a monster, he has been one the whole time. Just now unleashed. This would be why there is a flat out refusal to accept any responsibility for his actions. Why he is playing up this huge role of 'victim' when he is and has been the power tripper.
I have a daughter. I know how vulnerable women can be even when they pretend to be strong as an ox. We just want to be loved. Appreciated, admired and made to feel useful. If I ever find out that any partner made my daughter feel less than anything because it just wasn't up to his standards on any given day? Oh hell no..... No woman should be made to feel they are worthless and told as much.
Sometimes people call a woman ranting of abuse crazy. What's crazy is how many people didn't pay attention.
