@healingwithemilyg: People who try to discredit victims by saying they have a “victim mindset” are deflecting accountability, and almost always cite learned helplessness. But if someone has learned helplessness, it’s because someone else put them there. (Also don’t mind my strained voice I’m getting over a cold) #narcissisticabuse #emotionalabuse #gaslighting #abuserecovery #traumahealing
Wow I’ve never heard about this experiment that’s wild I’ve heard of the flea jumping and hitting its head but this one is so much more resonating so thank you so much for putting a word to what I feel truly fed me some thought today 😂🫶🏼👏🏼

Yep, and a lot of us get trapped in situations by what I call the "legal lockdown". My ex didn't show any of these negative traits - anger issues, manipulation, control, gaslighting, violence - UNTIL we had a lease together. Once we both had our names on that lease, that's when the real "her" came out. Any time I tried to leave, I kept hearing, "I'm going to sue you for the full amount of the lease", "How could you walk out on me and my kids?", "We're going to be homeless and I would NEVER do that to you" and everything else.
