Actually, they say that PA is learned behavior from childhood. I believe firmly
that my pa hb's family pretty much indoctrinated him to be the way he is. His
father is PA and his mother was a coercive, abusive person--classic family
dynamics for someone to become PA.
This doesn't mean you have to continue to do PA behaviors, but they do 'work'
and that's why it's so hard to recognize them as dysfunctional and why it's so
hard to turn away from these behaviors. They do keep the PA in control, which is
what they want.
