Everyone of these are directly from the psychiatry handbook. Gaslighting is one of the worst. It tends to make the victim feel as though she/he is crazy and is imagining things so she starts to blame herself, which plays into why she ends up staying longer than she should. In arguments, the victim tends to end up forgetting what the argument was about to begin with because the abuser continually denies everything and makes the victim feel confused and start doubting herself. Projection is also very common and very damaging. Have you ever been accused of cheating every single day of your life? You go to work and come home and are accused of cheating. When you go to the grocery store you get accused. When you go to visit your family, you get accused. To the point of him even demanding that you give him a name. Every single day. Even when you have never cheated a day in your life! -- Look for these signs in your relationships. Always be aware.
