If you were abused as a child and your parent(s) kept it secret, not wanting to cause turmoil for one’s family or a work relationship or someone else’s family, you are likely not only affected by the abuse at the hands of the abuser but by not having your abuse truly validated and dealt with meaningfully on your behalf. The lack of holding the abuser openly accountable suggests they or someone else is more important than you and what you experienced. Just know… that was wrong.

There are many important reasons why someone may not leave an abusive relationship. People need somewhere to go. Not everyone has alternative accommodations available for themselves, let alone with kids and even pets. Then on top of accommodations, there is the cost of living beyond that. Food, clothing, transportation. Not all will have sufficient funds. An aspect of abuse can include financial control by the partner. Leaving with kids can also impact their schooling and social supports.

I was asked about a referral of a person described as a narcissist. The person has apparently attended previous therapy on an individual and group basis. The marital and family issues continue. The person seeking to make the referral explained that the person always thinks they know more than the therapist. I declined the referral. There is no room for the input of another when one is so full of themselves. As a therapist It is important to know one’s own limits and demonstrate boundaries.
