Controlling People: Controllers use verbal abuse to subtly undermine their
victim's perceptions, to manipulate them into doing what they want, to foster
dependency, to isolate them from truth, from outside contact and even from their
own children. They may withhold information while lying to their victim..
Controllers create confusion, emotional pain and mental anguish, while
periodically "rescuing" their victim by seeming to offer the balm of love that
alleviates the victim's pain drawing the victim ever closer. Controllers gain
and maintain power over people while often presenting a perfect persona to the
world.
