Abuse vs Violence

Abuse is the abnormal use of another person, a thing, or a substance. When you feel used and abused, and you feel that you have to continuously give more and more and that it's hard to come through with whatever you need, you're getting depleted, used, and abused.

Violence is when there is a movement of control or domination from one person to another, leveraging fear, intimidation, mind games, and guilt trips to get you to do things that you didn't want to do initially. It can include the use of brute force as well as the pathological use mind games to exert complete control over the victim.

Narcissistic Abuse

Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional abuse that is characterized by manipulation, control, and gaslighting. Narcissists are often very charming and charismatic, and they can be very good at making their victims feel like they are the only ones who understand them. However, once they have their victim's trust, they will start to use that trust to control and manipulate them, to isolate and control them, and to make them the scapegoat for anything and everything that they dislike in their experience regardless of the facts.
