About this listen

  • Abusers feel powerless, so they search for a victim they can exert power over.
  • The abuse could be emotional (manipulation and verbal), financial (economic), physical, sexual or all four.
  • They usually isolate their victim from family and friends.
  • An abuser will act the part of ‘Mister nice guy’ until he or she is confident their victim cannot leave them.
  • The abuser could be a parent, a partner or even an employer.
  • Placating an abuser to reduce tension rarely works; the abuse almost always continues.
