Those who are suffering in abusive relationships lose their sense of self. They fell for the charm and swagger of the abuser, and did not realize that it was only a mask. It was the mask-trap of a fiendish and diabolic manipulative personality who carefully chooses his/her victim target. The charming deceiver is there to crush the life out of its target, and turn the person into an empty dependent non-being. Their lies are sprinkled with twisted truth, but just enough poisoned truth to trap the unwary soul.("Come into my parlor," said the spider to the fly.).
