Relationship Red Flags

This is one of the biggest red flags to watch out for in a relationship!

It’s when an emotional abuser won’t take accountability in a relationship.

It’s when an emotional abuser uses blame-shifting to escape taking accountability for how they’ve made you feel.

They’ll treat you disrespectfully, they’ll neglect your needs, and they’ll subtly manipulate you through their words.

But then, they’ll focus only on your reaction when you want to discuss it with them.

They’ll blame you for feeling the way you feel.

They’ll tell you it’s somehow all your fault.

They’ll call you unwell.

They’ll tell you that you need help.

When in reality it was them and their behaviours all along that caused how you felt and that caused your reaction.

Feeling hurt, angry, upset, or betrayed are normal reactions to being treated with constant disrespect or neglect over a long period of time from a cruel and toxic person.

What isn’t normal, is the fact that this toxic person is blame-shifting instead of apologising, showing remorse, and actually taking accountability for what they’ve done and how they’ve made you feel.

There is nothing wrong with you!

Rather there is everything wrong about the way that they’ve chosen to be, and about their lack of empathy and compassion for how they’ve made you feel.

This is without question one of the biggest red flags the gives away a toxic person.

Don’t ignore it, because they know exactly what they’re doing when they do it.

Know your worth, and don’t settle for someone who’s less than you deserve…

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
