Silent Abuse or Covert Abuse

Silent Abuse or covert abuse is like the frog that gets put into a pot of water and before it knows it, slowly boiled to death. Yeah and you get out of psychological abuse pretty stunned. I was diagnosed with PTSD just from a 7 month relationship. Constant gaslighting, darvo and many other tactics.

I think everyone should learn about this type of abuse very well because it almost always starts off like this and you are stuck in a trauma bond way before they get "abusive". It's so subtle you don't even realize it. The really Nice guy who is such a gentleman and never yells or calls you names "oh but it's just a joke, haha" and "treats" you like a princess. So affectionate and respectful.

Before you know it, you feel like you're going crazy, blaming yourself, isolated and doing all of the apologizing for "over reacting"

This is abuse and it's illegal too in some States. And you can also sue them too. I think more woman should start taking legal action. Especially to help warn other women. And I think we should have a national data base for abusers too.
