subservience to an abusive partner. These are signs of an abusive
relationship explained by psychologist Leslie Becker-Phelps:
Psychological and emotional abuse: Undermining a partner’s
self-worth with verbal a acks, name-calling, and beli ling.
Humiliating the partner in public, unjustly accusing them of having
an affair, or interrogating them about their every behavior. Keeping
partner confused or off balance by saying they were just kidding or
blaming the partner for ‘making’ them act this way … Feigning in
public that they care while turning against them in private. This
leads to victims frequently feeling confused, incompetent, unworthy,
hopeless, and chronically self-doubting. [Apply these techniques to
how governments have treated the population since New Year, 2020,
and the parallels are obvious.]
Physical abuse: The abuser might physically harm their partner in
a range of ways, such as grabbing, hi ing, punching, or shoving
them. They might throw objects at them or harm them with a
weapon. [Observe the physical harm imposed by masks, lockdown,
and so on.]
Threats and intimidation: One way abusers keep their partners in
line is by instilling fear. They might be verbally threatening, or give
threatening looks or gestures. Abusers o en make it known that
they are tracking their partner’s every move. They might destroy
their partner’s possessions, threaten to harm them, or threaten to
harm their family members. Not surprisingly, victims of this abuse
o en feel anxiety, fear, and panic. [No words necessary.]
Isolation: Abusers o en limit their partner’s activities, forbidding
them to talk or interact with friends or family. They might limit
access to a car or even turn off their phone. All of this might be done
by physically holding them against their will, but is o en
accomplished through psychological abuse and intimidation. The
more isolated a person feels, the fewer resources they have to help
gain perspective on their situation and to escape from it. [No words
