Extreme Abuse

Domestic Violence Dynamics

Toxic Love

Long-term relationships evolve over time, either positively or negatively as the primary partners change together, and in the same progressive direction; or they change independently and drift apart. That applies to 'normal' relationships; but it also applies to abusive relationships, especially violent relationships, which can change drastically from hot to cold. The moment of the victim's awakening is the proximal change point, the catalyst that sets a new dynamic in motion. A dangerous road to freedom is initiated by self-awakening.The Predator begins to recalculate, and the Prey begins to think of escape. The strength of the trauma bonds begins to wane as Sara sees with new eyes.
