Kindle Notes & Highlights
Abusers don’t only manipulate their victims, but they get off on making other’s believe that they’re upstanding people.
They trick them into thinking that they would never hurt a fly, so when accusations come to the surface, they’re considered outrageous.
“Then give that privilege to a man who deserves it. If you want a man to own you, then let him. But that’s not something he has a right to without your consent,”
“The only way I want to own a woman is by owning her pleasure. I want her body to sing for me—a tune that only I can hear. I want her body to gravitate towards mine like a moth to a flame. And I want her to grow to dislike the feeling of being so
empty when my cock isn’t inside of her.”
It’s not just mental abuse, it’s mental warfare and can be more dangerous than a raised hand.
The gaslighting and manipulation are what convinces victims to stay and endure.
That’s what everyone always says, right? I’d never let a man hit me. You don’t even realize that’s what has happened until it’s too late.
