- Warning Signs Of An Abusive Relationship - Be Very Quiet
By: D. A. Campbell | - You don't get the full gist of it in the beginning of the relationship. And as far as your significant other is concerned you are not supposed to. If you did than the chances of you still being in the relationship would drop considerably.
So they went about sweeping you off of your feet and did their best to hide their true nature. It worked because you fell in love with them and decided to make a go of things.
But you cannot shake the thought that everything is not w ...

By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - Battered women and abused men are accustomed to being the scapegoat for the problems in their abusive relationships. They are routinely told:
- "It's your fault, you made me do it, say it, etc.,"
- "If you weren't so ________, it wouldn't have happened."

- Battered Women - When Mature Women Leave Abusive Relationships
By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - "Dr. King, speak to how it is for the mature woman in an abusive relationship and how it is for her when she leaves," writes a reader.
My knee jerk response to this request was, "the dynamics are the same." Battering is battering is battering. An abuse dynamic that is long standing or discovered later in life resembles an abuse dynamic earlier in life.
If it is, indeed, "intimate partner violence," it will carry all of the defining characteristics of: controlling and po ...

- Women, Power, Abusive Relationships, Manipulation And Control
By: Liza Cooper | - When you feel empowered, you are centered, think clearly and make wise decisions. You are connected to your core strength and face the world with confidence.
But some will try to knock you off-center, so that you are no longer able to tap into your core. If they are successful, you will feel panicked, unable to think clearly, or misplaced guilt. It will be difficult to assert yourself and you may find yourself engaging in unwarranted second-guessing or self-blame.

By: Addison Kross | - In some relationships abuse is obvious; it leaves unmistakable signs on the victim even if that person refuses to accept the reality. Though many people continue to remain in some of the most horrific of these situations, those who are involved in relationships that include far less obvious signs of abuse may find it even more difficult to leave.
Those who find themselves trapped in legal situations in which leaving their abuser might be even more hesitant to consider the idea o ...

- Psychological Abuse: 6 Tips To Counter Being Improperly Labeled With A Psychiatric Diagnosis
By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - As a psychologist, domestic abuse consultant and one who has known domestic violence personally, I'm frequently approached by battered women for "psychological truth." They are eager to know if the names and labels given to them by their abusive partners, or by the court agents acting on their abuser's behalf, hold any validity.
Many domestic violence survivors intuitively know they are falsely labeled, but remain at an impasse as to how they can refute such allegations. That is, ...
