Another way he can retaliate against you for resisting his control is to switch into the role of victim.
This is what he did when I confronted him and told him what they said about him on Reddit. I told him about how they called him an abuser and he turned things around and said “it doesn’t feel good to hear that this is what people are saying about me.” . You’re missing the point on how you acted in a particular way that was so bad to a point of where people labelled you as an abuser! Think about that! All I could think during the discussion was how he was reversing the perpetrator and victim roles.
