my husband because he loves me and I have to be loyal to him and it's my fault, I'm not being a good enough wife, I'm not doing enough, it's on me. And of course the abusive controlling partner is saying, you're right, it's your fault, it's not about me, it's you, you aren't measuring up. And very much like a cult, that abusive controlling husband will isolate the wife.

estranging her from old friends, moving her maybe to a new area where she's separated from family, and kind of cocooning her and controlling her interactions, her social life. If you're in a situation like that, it's very hard to understand what to do. because you have this sense of loyalty to your spouse or to the group, and you feel like they are right.

And if you have been raised in a group and your parents belong to the group, even more so, you feel like, well, my parents, I love them, and they're in this organization. It must be good. It must be right. And so you feel like there is no legitimate reason to leave. And you have unreasonable fears about leaving. I mean, I'll have women talk to me about abusive controlling relationships and say,

what sounds like crazy. I mean, they'll say, no one will ever love me like he loves me. I'll never find love again in my life. I'm so fortunate that I found this person. I'll never, ever find anyone like that ever again. And I'll look at the woman and say, you're very young, you're highly accomplished, not to objectify you, but you're attractive. You can find someone else.

But because of your spouse and the way that you've been manipulated, you've been led to believe that you can't. And that's wrong. And the way that you've been treated is wrong. And frequently the women that I have worked with have been subjected to physical violence. They've been beat up. repeatedly, and people will blame them. People will say, oh, she went back to him.

She deserves what she gets. But very few people unwind what has happened to this woman and understand it in the terms of how the abusive controlling partner has manipulated her. And I devoted a whole chapter in my book to abusive controlling relationships and describe how I did an intervention with a young woman to get her out of such a situation.
