    My ex-husband I believe is a psychopath and sadist. The only emotion I saw in him in 20 years was joy watching me suffer, even strangling me once. When I would stand up for myself he would punish me. Withhold food, money, conversation etc. He wanted me to beg. He would lift the punishment after a few days thinking I'd learned my lesson. I hadn't, I was planning my escape. I woke up a few times to him standing over me watching me sleep. He had dead eyes, I knew he was debating strangling me. I got away and now have a good life. No one will ever control me again. People like him are pure evil.
    Everything you said is 100% accurate.

      When a partner strangles you, even 'playfully,' he is 7 times more likely to kill you. The research shows that, you were very lucky to leave.

      Same. No strangulation, but his favorite thing was to lift me up as high as he could and drop me on the floor. So he could say he never “hit” me.

    Please don't label any woman in this awful situation a doormat. She is not. She is more likely paralyzed, having to consider the consequences of every action from every angle, knowing everything is a trap. Her decisions are not her own. A doormat lays down where it belongs to be walked on. It implies her place. I'm not intending to take anything away from your hugely important message. I'm grateful for your insight.

    I've been in an emotionally abusive relationship for 20 years. However, in the past few years I _finally_ realized that one the abusive things he has done was sadistic. Despite journaling about it for the past few years, which helped me gain clarity on narcissism, I didn't manage to label it as sadistic until recently. It takes time.
    I've been looking up videos intended to help victims of domestic violence and I'm happy that there are tons of material out there for us. Which I'm immensely relieved about!

    It isn’t only males who do this. In fact it was the abuse of a man by a woman that made coercive control a crime in the UK.... and it isn’t just about sex and doesn’t have to include physical violence, although there’s often the threat.... I just wanted to make that clear, because it’s important to get this right. Otherwise you might mislead a person to believe it’s not happening to them.

      Thank you, my therapist tells me its rare, but it certainly happens to men from abusive women as well. Think of Paul Sheldon in the movie Misery, that movie is a description of the marriage I am escaping from, but in a metaphorical sense. Being psychologically crippled, and isolated, and forced to change the narrative of your story, trauma-bonded, incapable of leaving... love bomb, devalue punish, rinse/repeat.

    I’m a man and have never had an issue with a woman coming on to me or I initiating until my recent ex. We did start out in a sexual way so it was unhealthy from the start. Now that being said early on something in my brain got very uncomfy with her push for sex and extreme displays of pda. I asked to slow things down so we could really get to know each other on a deep level as that would help me open up again. From there I was guilt tripped, coerced, told that “don’t worry it was for her” when I froze up, and treated passively aggressively about not pleasing her. Never in my life had I experienced freezing up before sex and not being able to initiate. What made it worse was she was extremely sweet and then her feelings shut off after 6 months and she completely discarded me. Something in my mind was warning me I believe. And I am left with extreme trauma and cognitive dissonance over who this person really was. Still struggling everyday.

    Unfortunately I was with a partner for 3 years that used this under the guise of BDSM. It was so subtle, the lies, the excuses, the pushing of boundaries. Not only was he a sociopath but he was a sadist. The biggest warning sign was “ at least if I hurt you, I will be there to dry your tears”. My absolute sanity was assaulted and I had no idea at the time. He put me on a pedestal and set it on light. He always spoke well about me. But that was linked to his image. Took me 3 years to figure it out why I was dipping into a depression and losing myself. I gave up and was his most prized doormat that he turned into a slave. Thank you for this :) it’s great to see all this put into perspective!

It sounds like he may have had what we call The Dark Triad: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machievellian tendencies. It's the worst!

    My father (I am 58 now) was a covert narcissist and coercive controller. It did dreadful damage to my sense of self/autonomy. It was like the word "NO" didn't exist for me. Tactics were predominantly shaming; shunning; back-handed "compliments"; threats of beating (my brother, 7 years older, did get beaten and I was so petrified I'd do anything to avoid it). I was an incredibly anxious child with little confidence. He hated his children having self-respect or being cleverer than him (which we both were). I would have to be quietly threatened by my mum to spend any time alone with him. He could then sometimes be more giving - primarily physical things however, not emotional things. I couldn't "read" him, and for a small child that is a bewildering clusterfuck of damage; no trust, unable to identify or process feelings. Humiliation in public was a favourite, eg extended family dinners.

    I was in this type of relationship for three years. I tried leaving many times but somehow I gave up trying to do it alone and i prayed. HE left on his own a few months after that. I’m still struggling trying to understand how he left when he was extremely controlling and obsessed. What was his motive for leaving when he did or is this something not worth understanding?

    • @ForRelationshipHelp
      @ForRelationshipHelp  5 лет назад +10

      I''m sorry this happened to you. It IS worth understanding. #Hijackals--narcissistic or sociopathic toxic people--are always on the lookout for supply. They prefer readily available, non-demanding, non-threatening "supply."
      Supply, by the way, means having people who love, adore, validate, put up with, and accept their power and control without question. Easy, non-confronting people. They want their needs met and they couldn't care less about yours unless they really want something from you for a hot minute.
      His motive for leaving was someone likely caught his eye, seemed like easy pickings, and made him look and feel good. #Hijackals love the love-bombing stage of new relationships where they show up as everything you ever wanted while later turning into your worst nightmares.
      Know that you did nothing wrong. In fact, if you're like most partners of #Hijackals, you did everything you possible could and more than was healthy for him.
      He is the troubled person, and don't let him trouble you. You're asking the right question, because too many people ask me how to get them back. Don't!

      Before, you did all the work. You were abused into assuming a role he desired and you were fulfilling his expectations even if you didn't realize it. When you reached your breaking point and pulled back, he was left with the reality that you were not going to give what he wants. Did he need you for anything but affection? I think you were blessed with answered prayers because many abusers refuse to let go. I am so so very glad he let you go and I sincerely hope he stays away. :)

    The algorithm trying to make me believe I did this to my ex wife. Perhaps I did to a small degree. But she wasn't an angel either.
    I'm going to go against the general consensus and theorize that a % of the coercive control cases might be husband's or partner's in relationships with passive aggressive avoident and narcissistic women or women who married for insincere reasons such as security, tradition, wealth etc or who have fallen out of love or no longer find their man attractive.
    So has the academic community investigated that? I have recently read about reactive abuse connected to PTSD when suffering from narcisist or avoident abuse which from females is often passive aggressive and involves sex and affection denial. Wonder what the experts say about that..
    Also what isn't addressed is if regular coercive abusers do that because otherwise they might only receive sex once a year. Wouldn't withholding sex be abuse in it's own right? Especially in Western countries excluding one's such as Germany which are very progressive about women not needing big divorce settlements for feminism reason's.
    So with men stuck between a rock and a hard place. Not wanting to divorce ( of course a % do) or have an affair they do the only thing in their stressed neglected state they can. Try to coerce their partner. Perhaps it normally starts romantically, then a massage, then one Valentines day at 2AM it aggravates to a hand passing over their wives leg and when she brushes it away it degenerates to begging and when that doesn't work he threatens divorce and when that fails he leaves the room and says he's going to watch porn.
    All the above however light would be catagorized as cohesive abuse. But again this might be reactive so I think someone perhaps yourself could study reactive cohersive abuse to find out it's frequency.

It was during this visit that at one point she _commanded_ me to remove my underwear (which I had kept on under the gown), ordered me back onto the table and proceeded to sexually assault me right in front of a female nurse. I got totally TRICKED and BAMBOOZLED. I was in SHOCK and felt TERROR during this part of the “examination.”
    After tossing things around in my head and doing LOTS of research and talking to different people including SA advocates which took MONTHS, it seemed like the appropriate thing to do was to file a police report. Numerous officers told me to my face, what she did didn’t constitute sexual abuse.

    My sons(20) girlfriend (18) was recently told that if she keeps seeing my son her stepfather will put a bullet in my sons brain. They have never met him. He is also making her quit her job so that they cannot see each other at all. Her stepfather tracks her phone so he knows where she is at all times. He says he may make her quit college in the fall. He has a police history of domestic abuse and restraining orders, i checked him out after he said that about my son. He is not supposed to own guns but she said that he does and that he is capable of doing that and she believes it to be a credible threat, he is also violent with her, her siblings and mom. I talked to the police the day after he said this they said they can arrest him for terroristic threatening if my son makes the report but my son is hesitant to do this because he is afraid his girlfriend will get hurt when he is able to bail out of jail. The police also said that my son and his girlfriend should take out restraining orders on him but his girlfriend does not think a restraining order will do anything but make him angrier and more abusive to her, my son, her mom and her siblings.

      Yes, it can feel like a Catch-22 for sure. The big question, though, for the young folks to think through is: Do you want your whole life to be run by fear of the stepfather? The police are right and the young people's fears are also valid. It's a big decision, and they are so young.
      It may be--and I would have to know much more to give specific advice--that the best thing for your son's gf to do is to move very far away. She is not capable of defending herself, her siblings, or her mom. She cannot change her stepfather. Moving far away AND getting a restraining order can be a good solution.

      Women and men can install cameras. They can be useful when there is physical violence. In the US, it is also important to look up your state's laws on "one-party recording consent." In many states, one person in a conversation can record it without the permission of the others. That's VERY helpful when documenting and presenting evidence of cruelty, verbal and emotional abuse.

      I'm a little confused about the details of your story/question. Is the cop you mentioned earlier the person who is now stalking you?
      Is there a reason that you are still in contact with this person?
      Are you in a small town?
      How did your relationship shift to online?
      Please help me understand so that i can give you a clearer answer.

      @superhuman girl Scary and unsettling in every way! Have you blocked him everywhere and gone absolute no contact?
      I think you need a restraining order, or order of protection. He's stalking you, and you have the proof. First, though, do not under circumstances, communicate with him further. Document everything he does, sends, places in your accounts. It seems he is quite sophisticated in his tech abilities.

    I was a supporter of this channel. But to state only men do this is a gross mischaracterization. The problem with this kind of thinking is that women are innocent in these situations. Ill state this now that, i dont condone or excuses abusive behavior. But in most cases i would go out on a limb to say women pushed men to the point which they resort to violemce. The mental games they play, the denial of those games, arguing just to argue. Everybody has a breaking point. Women often argue with understanding that they can say or do anything but it is against the rules to hit them. If we are honest with ourselves if it was against the rules to cause physical harm to somebody for crossing a line. We would be extreme assholes. So to suggest men are the only ones doing this is laughable. As far as phone and computer snooping women have been the only ones who have done this to me. I refuse to do it. I also refuse to hit women. But if im honest the thought crosses my mind. But i take a walk. Not for my sake for theirs. Violence only resolidifies this belief of being able to ssy anything you want to anybody. I may not hit a woman, but there are plenty of men who will. Whats more interesting is domestic violence cases are the highest in same sex relationships amoungst women..

    It is absolutely not gendered. I have suffered coercive control at the expense of women as well as my father.
    Most men, are too culturally humiliated to ever come forward to speak about any of this.
    And perpetuating these gendered outlooks when it is far from mutually exclusive, is very damaging to getting a fuller picture and helping victims.
    If it weren’t for the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case- there is no way in hell I’d feel even remotely capable of speaking up about this. I have been blamed ruthlessly by my abusers while the communities around were all too eager to believe them.
    Eventually, and finally, the truth has been coming out but it has cost me dearly. And I am one of many.
    That- is the effect this has had. And it is very alarming. Especially when we come seeking some measure of anonymous solace. We’re still not permitted culturally to point any of this out until long after we’re in the clear. For those of us who make it there.

    I wonder what the author of the book would call it when it is a female abuser. Evan stark has missed the mark .. women do this .. a lot .. and it's an acceptable social norm .. case in point, this author minimising the abuse on men. The gender-specific HAS to stop. This is non gender specific. The author is incorrect

    • @ForRelationshipHelp
      @ForRelationshipHelp  5 лет назад +6

      It's a good conversation, Jack. Evan Stark does not minimize the abuse of men, either. He just found in his research that the situation was more often perpetrated by men. Have you read his book, "Coercive Control?"

      I have just been through a coercive controlling relationship, I am currently facing police charges brought against me by my female abuser. I feel my experienced solicitor is not versed enough in this and is looking at a diminished responsibility defence. Due to the gender specific wording of most case studies I have found, it is hard to be able to relay what I have been through... This needs to be gender neutral!!

      @@ForRelationshipHelp my mother is a sadistic - albeit covert - coercive controller. she uses manipulation and emotional "threats" and so do MANY mothers who use their children or threats of taking their children away from their dads. Mine did it at least a couple of times...the first time I remember I was 4, my brother was a baby and I remember it very clearly. Also, women will threaten to accuse their boyfriends of assault, other legal threats because they know the police will believe them over a man claiming to be suffering abuse. Not to say there aren't abusive men out there, Ive met a few of them too but the worst longest term abuse I have suffered and still am, via a smear campaign, is by my own mother. She is psychotic and sadistic and you'd never know it, she seems so meek and timid. but watch out behind closed doors when you stand up to her. Lies, plays the victim to my dad, uses him to bully me as well. These people are monsters, male or female but the covert females are way worse as far as I am concerned. A jealous, controlling man is obvious...once you've had the misfortune of encountering one of them, you can spot them a mile away.

    I know more than 90% of men have been hit by women yet no one cares of course. Violence against men is unreported because it's not as exaggerated but likely far more common.
