Unworthy

UNWORTHY
ISOLATION. DESOLATION. VICTIMIZATION.
MOST ASSUREDLY NOT WORTHY.
HIS FIST; A CONSTANT REMINDER NOT TO BETRAY HIM.
SHE DARES NOT VIOLATE HIS DEMANDS! AND SO - SHE CONFORMS.

He beats her down, in more ways than one. His words, his tone of voice, his demeanor. Manipulation. Control. Mind games. These all play a part in devaluing her self worth. His looks, actions and gestures. He makes her feel bad about herself. He calls her names and thrives on making her believe she’s unworthy. He tells her that it is her fault that he loses his temper. He humiliates her, and attempts to make her feel guilty for not being what he wants her to be. He controls what she does, who she sees, all avenues of communicating, what she reads and where she goes. He may use jealousy to justify his actions. He may even express remorse and sorrow for his actions after, only to repeat his abusive behavior all too soon. The cycle continues.
