@HD7970GHZ, thank you for this detailed account of how abusers operate to make their victims think they are at fault and to blame. This is highly accurate, and most common in abusers. I've been accused of being the abuser, while I am being abused. I've experienced the exact same scenarios you have described. I even had one abuser, who was screaming at me and chasing me around the house, blocking me from being able to get away from him, he yelled and said I belong in a straight jacket when I told him he's abusive, calling me crazy, bi polar, and you name it. He turned everything around on me, and even had his friends turn on me too after I told them that he's abusive. Horrific memories.

Anyways, thank you for sharing this. I hope it helps victims of abuse to see that they are not crazy, that they are the victim of abuse, and that the abuser's accusations are all false and a tactic to get the victim to believe they're to blame.
