This post is old but I just got here from a link to one of your newer posts about abuse.

That wheel describes my dad’s behavior… not everything he does is on the wheel. And not everything on the wheel is something he does.
But that covers enough of his behavior to further cement my belief that my dad is an abuser.

I’ve known this for a long time but I can’t convince my mom, his wife, to believe it. She still thinks that it only counts if it’s physical abuse. Which it is, sometimes, but the other kinds are constant. With the other kinds of abuse it’s not even episodic it’s always there.

This series is going to be a really good thing. I admire you for the work you do and the mental and emotional strength it takes to handle it.

I just got to reading this post, and I cannot tell you how helpful it is to see these behaviours outlined the way they are. You put a great deal of clarity around a subject that can be very mucky for many people. Thank you for sharing your area of expertise with us.

I've experienced what you called crazy-making behaviour in an abusive relationship, but didn't know it was a thing that was normal for these relationships. I didn't expect people to be pathetic enough to do that sort of stuff, so I kept questioning if it ever happened.. so anyway, it was nice to read about it. I'm looking forward to the rest of these posts! I'm glad you take the time to write about stuff like you do. It's these types of posts that keep me coming back to your blog- not that I don't enjoy the nudity

Firstly, excellent post. Thank you for doing it. Secondly, that song is just…wow. Um, it's made me at a loss for words, and that doesn't happen often.

Thanks for the post on DV. I have experienced quite a few of the things you have mentioned, and am so glad that I am now free of that situation. Looking forwad to your next post on WHY victims stay… becuase I often wonder if the reasons I stayed for so long were fairly common.

Thanks for all your good work with DV victims, we need more people like you in the world.

I have always always admired the stuff you do related to DV. Thank you for posting this, I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the series (in a totally non-morbid way, of course).
