It happens to men by women. It happens to women by women, and it happens to men by men.

GemmaUK Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I wrote a post and also some reviews on several books on controlling behaviour and emotional abuse for anyone who isn't really quite sure what is going on and whether they are in fact being abused or not. It can be a bit of a grey area especially if you haven't experienced it before.
