3. They manipulate you by punishment
You’re given the silent treatment or flooded with criticism if you keep things real and don’t act like someone you’re not and blamed for whatever negative feelings they’re experiencing.
They consider you their main source of unhappiness and for this reason, you are expected to do things and help them feel better about themselves.
Abusive partners use your own fears to make you do what they want, either by threatening to leave you or taking your house, your children etc. You probably want to avoid the constant tantrums and emotional abuse and just give in without a fight.
Next, if they don’t call you by your actual name, you should call them a cab…..
