Unpacking the abuse trap: accusing the targeted partner of being abusive.

Abusers may accuse their targeted partner of being abusive. This tactic serves multiple functions including:

-avoiding responsibility as the abuser pulls the conversation away from the abuser’s behaviour and onto the targeted partner
-causing their partner to feel confused, self-doubt, and question their what they’re experiencing
-make the targeted partner feel guilty or pressured to reassure the abuser
-Avoiding responsibility for their abuse by telling others the targeted partner is abusive

Targeted partners are surviving, resisting, and being impacted by the abuse.

“Women are not rehabilitation centers for broken men” This powerful quote comes from Emma Katz and Zawn Villines collaborative Substack article: Do abusers intend to be abusive? A reader wonders to what extent abusers understand their own behaviour and motives. (Recommend this read!)

An abusive partner may use a variety of tactics to pressure, guilt, and convince their partner she is responsible for being the one to help him heal, to change his abusiveness, and help him with his problems. She may be made to feel like she owes it to her partner or to the relationship to be there for him.

While the abusive partner encourages his partner to pour her care and attention into him, he benefits from her resources and continues to subject her to abuse. Targeted partners are not responsible for and cannot control their abusive partner’s abuse.

If your partner makes you feel like you owe him a relationship and making choices for your safety and well-being are somehow betraying him, he’s not asking for support, he feels entitled to it, at the cost of your well-being and the health of your connection.
