2) SHE FEELS A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY
I know that an abusive man making a woman feel secure is a paradox, but being in love can make such contradictory behavior seem reasonable. The offending men in question are experts at what they do, which is luring in women with obvious self-esteem issues and battering them up to the point of no return. They’ll say they love and want to protect us, then shower us with bullshit gifts and compliments, until one day when dude goes totally exorcist and shows his demonic side. It almost becomes like a pimp/ho relationship, where you’re seduced into a false sense of comfort only to have the rug pulled from under you once you get comfortable. Any empowered woman would respond to that with a “f**k off” and never look back, but not everyone believes in themselves enough to get past that thought. Remember, these are girls that have probably been neglected or abandoned in the past, so being alone is, like, their biggest fear in life. To escape the clutches of someone who makes you feel worthless without them, it’s crucial to surround yourself with other positive people who can instill some security in your world.
