An abusive man who is adept in the language of feelings can make his partner feel crazy by turning each argument into a therapy session in which he puts her reactions under a microscope and assigns himself the role of “helping” her. He may, for example, “explain” to her the emotional issues she needs to work through, or analyze her reasons for “mistakenly” believing that he is mistreating her.
Been seeing the meme online a bunch of "Manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their disrespect." - this line could have saved 1/2 the book
