A Disclaimer

"Abuse" is a powerful word. Yet fitting. Some of the cruelest forms of abuse are invisible, hidden, covert and ambient. I am not a professional but I have de-coded the mind invading games of abusive people. Though I don't intend on making light of this subject, one has to have perspective when realizing how ridiculous the games are. Like the little man behind the curtain of OZ, once you strip away the ruse, YOU get your power back. If you can catch it while it's happening, you can avoid becoming brainwashed and a target to these types of people.

This site is for ANYONE who has suffered from an psychological abuser...and even those who ended up being abused in more overt or physical ways. Anyone who needs healing, of any sex, color, age, creed, background or culture. It doesn't matter if you dated, were married to, related to or worked for....anyone who's been abused this way can benefit. Abuse is not a "female" problem. It is a HUMAN problem.

Game # 3: The Pseudo-commitment Stage or, I am his, right?


So now he's got your attention fully. You feel like this could be "the one." Lots of these guys do the sweep by throwing out the "I love you's" almost immediatly. For others, its a bit more subtle. But the idea here, is to make it appear that you are "different" than all the rest, and that you are the "important" one. Things said such as "It's been a long time since I've cared", "I haven't felt this way for a woman in a long time" "There is something so different about you"-followed by an implied commitment. Within a few days, or a couple weeks of "hanging out." 


While he didn’t come right out and ask for you to commit to him right away, he insinuated that by saying things like “I know it sounds weird but I don’t want to have to share any woman I’m with, with anyone else.” “God, it will be great not having to wear freakin’ condoms anymore.” He’ll tell you how he was dating some girl and found out she was playing him, because she lead him on to think they had a commitment, and he then found out she was seeing other guys. He then follows it up with “I won’t play you.” 

Now, sometimes abusers will go right into the romance mode and feed you line after line about your beauty, your intelligence and begin to throw the “L’ word around.  They will refer to you as “my girl” in mere weeks of having met you. They may actually take the relationship into a space-sharing mode quickly, or even rush to marry you. But some of these men are just looking to hook you in, with no intentions of ever making it a relationship. If you are with that type of abuser, you begin to sense this and subtly question his true intent. With that, he makes you feel that he is in this “for real”, you are not just a “fuck buddy” and you mean more to him than just a “piece of ass.”  Then suddenly, without warning, after coming on so strongly-he backs off.
