Although I love RAMANI AND ZUNG I’m tired of learning about validating victims. I need to have true support true help and a corrupt Family Law system Miami Day and I begged them to help me and nobody addresses what the victim should do they only address how do I identify the abusive assholes?
I wish I knew a better way… coercive control is illegal in the UK but when the law was proposed here in the US, it was shot down.
I leaned on spirituality to get me through what I could do nothing about, but I imagine family court ties are immensely difficult and might just be the crux of urgency in understanding (and prosecuting) these awful types of offenses.
Thanks for writing this so well. Lots in it but particularly the lived experience quotes: ‘“Just when I was ready to leave, he'd suddenly be kind again. He'd hug me, say he loved me, talk about our future. And I’d think, maybe I had everything wrong, maybe I just needed to try harder to keep those good times. That tiny bit of hope kept me going back every time.” ‘
Please share more. We need to hear real voices and stories so more people one can hear themselves and feel less alone.
Thank you for validating victims.
I nearly read part of your article in Dr Ramani’s voice because I know it well now. 😅

My heart goes out to you ❤️🩹
Such a well written summary of the devastating toll that men’s psychological and emotional abuse inflicts on victims hearts, mind and soul.

Once you educate yourself, you see the toxcity everywhere (particularly narcissism).
