Just back from a short break away from the trial, and I just noticed that JM's hair is a bit darker. Could there be a romance brewing?
Psychopaths, especially of the narcissistic type, will NEVER admit to being jealous. They will OFTEN explain that others or jealous of them, however.
Hi all, I apologize for asking this without looking at prior comments. I just walked in and started reading and watching 10 minutes ago, so I am hopelessly behind.
Question: why is Donavan Bering allowed to wear a DV ribbon when the Travis supporters were compelled to remove their blue ribbons? I smell a double standard here, and I don't like it.
TIA
First, I want to say thank you to what you do. As a "patient/client" of your profession I can attest to the prevalence of substance abuse in abusive relationships. However, your claim that no woman wants to stay (especially after 23 yrs) struck me very hard as "odd" because that is *exactly* what I said when I was first being counseled for my abusive relationship. I completely contradicted your claim and said I wanted to stay - that if he (the counselor) could just fix him or get him to change, that I didn't want to end things. And let me add that I was not married, live in my own house that I paid for and very financially independent. But the last thing I thought about was trying to end things. So I'm having a hard time reconciling my reaction to my abusive relationship with what you say you have never experienced in 23 yrs. I'm far from saying you're wrong- I'm just surprised to think my situation was so unique.
And the other thing that is weird is that the first thing the counselor told me (regarding abuse and rage) is that the root of all rage and anger is always fear. The abuser fears exposure of their own inadequacies, abandonment, etc.
"Journal Article" again. sheesh...and the note to my wife on the fridge is a "Treatise" on my journey to go get dinner.
When did JA sleep under the Christmas tree?

So when Travis said nice things he was being manipulative, when he said mean things he was being abusive, when he contacted her he was being controlling, and when he didn't contact her he was using passive aggressive manipulation.
Can anyone find a win in there, talk about no win scenario .. actually giving someone a no win scenario, isn't that a form of emotional abuse?
