In Jackson McKenzie's book, Psychopath Free, he writes,

Emotional Abusers Conditioned Their Victims to feel ashamed, inadequate, and unstable.

This is because they are cowards, incapable of

healthy relationships with strong and self-respecting individuals. Oftentimes, they choose

targets who are unusually successful and idealistic, because these people have more to lose.

But abusers cannot control someone with such qualities,

and so they break down the target's self-esteem

through belittling, teasing, and manufactured jealousy.

The target may have perfectionist tendencies

striving to meet the abuser's impossible standards.

This results in a strange dynamic where the abuser is idealized,

despite being lazy, dishonest, and unfaithful. The first recording you're going to hear on today's
