Dr. Christine Cocchiola, I have just witnessed this subtle abuse happen, do I confront the person about what they just did? What do I do, do I stay quiet?
Dr C. I have a hard question. I am scared to even type it. What if you as the actual pp have been accused of being the perpetrator so to speak and your child wholeheartedly believes you to be the unsafe parent.
I'm so sorry - this does happen to victims - the abuser DARVO's you - Denies what they are doing Reversing Victim and Offender and convinces the child to participate in the false narrative.
Dr. Christine Cocchiola,
I have just witnessed this subtle abuse happen, do I confront the person about what they just did?
What do I do, do I stay quiet?
an adult...confronting them will not change them and could result in retaliation. Recognize it and then protect yourself.
some financial abuses may also appear invisible to the victim
yes - like hiding or taking money from the family accounts or having other bank accounts without the victim knowing...
