Who is an abuser?
All of us are not averse to some extent to "control" other people, if there is such an opportunity: to impose our opinion, insist on the execution of certain orders, to achieve from others the results we need. But sometimes the desire to control another person takes on pathological forms and, without knowing it, you can be at the mercy of the abuser.
An abuser is a person who compels another, contrary to the wishes of the latter, to take any action, for example, to submission. Abuse is considered a form of violence against the personality of another person and can take various forms:
- psychological abuse - moral oppression of another person through offensive statements addressed to her, verbal humiliation, blackmail (forcing to perform certain actions), manipulation;
- physical abuse - coercion under the threat of physical harm or injury;
- sexual abuse - compulsion to intimacy with threats and blackmail;
- economic abuse - total control over the financial sphere of family life, sole distribution of financial resources, restriction of access to the family budget.
The abuser appears where there is an inequality of relations, where one person seeks to suppress another in order to derive personal benefits (not necessarily financially, but most often in order to satisfy his inner desires).
Very often, the abuser manifests himself in quite ordinary situations:
- restricts your contacts with friends or family;
- requires a change in habits;
- shows signs of jealousy;
- scares you with things that are meaningful to you or emphatically throws them in danger.
Abusive relationships can manifest in the family in relation to all household members, in relation to children and in relation to a partner.
Abuse in any form leads to physical or psychological trauma, which can be equivalent in the case when the oppressed person is sensitive to psychological attacks.
