Children look to their parents to discern their own worth, and what they can expect from their future intimate partners. It takes a lot of work to undo the negative beliefs we took on as children. https://carolineabbott.com/2017/12/do-you-have-a-narcissistic-parent/

For me, it was all of the above. It seemed so normal to be with someone who would just not speak to me when he was mad. Having low self-esteem causes many of the choices we will later regret. https://carolineabbott.com/2018/10/becoming-a-person-who-recognizes-their-own-worth/

Learning to care less about what others think of me has been a lifelong learning curve. I'm still working on it actually. We are all works in progress. Being happy with who we are....Priceless. www.carolineabbott.com

Wow, is this ever true. Mine thought I was harming him when I said 'no.' I often hear this from my clients who are experiencing abuse as well. The crazy making of abuse! It is one of the reasons I wrote my book, to help others sift through the crazy and take back their lives. https://carolineabbott.com/journey-through-emotional-abuse/

I would add if HE's scared ... same thing. We often don't believe people when they tells us about the abuse they are experiencing. Abusers often look so good on the outside we have a hard time believing what happens behind closed doors. https://carolineabbott.com/2017/04/why-do-people-often-take-the-side-of-the-abuser/
