What is NARCISSISTIC ABUSE?
Narcissistic abuse is covert, and often disguised as love and care, but it's anything but. It's not a single act of cruelty like an insulting comment, or verbal abuse laced with a string of profanities. It's the insidious, gradual, and intentional erosion of a person's sense of self-worth. It's a combination of emotional and psychological abuse aimed at undermining a person's identity for the sole purpose of obtaining control for personal gain. It can involve patterns of dominance, manipulation, intimidation, emotional coercion, withholding, dishonesty, extreme selfishness, guilt-mongering, rejection, stonewalling, gaslighting, financial abuse, extreme jealousy, and possessiveness.
