Abusive Partners

[HACHE]

I agree, things do get worse. ..the trouble is, inherently good people see good in everyone. ..we can't help that. Even when things got so low I'd thought in my heart we could turn it all around.

I don't think you can nip stuff like this in the bud. ..it will only be nipped if you sack them off straight away. .in the courting stage. If you forgive or give some sort of reprimand, it'll give them the green light to act up again days, weeks, months even years down the line.

SimonH gave an example of what he experienced. ..it's a tragedy a few people have to be tested.

Btw. ..I'm grateful for the automated emails when someone replies to a thread I've contributed to. ..I wld of missed this otherwise. ..Cheers

It's a fair point really, someone twisted enough to be capable, willing to do this psychotic stuff, aren't gona learn to behave decently by being shown that they can't cross certain lines.

Abuse can't happen without a victim participating in the relationship...

From what I've learnt, once once the the game is up. .the isolation finished etc they tend to walk anyway They have no power over you. .the victim is no longer a victim. The spell is broken. The thought of a nice balanced relationship is In their mind, incomprehensible.
