I guess I'm looking for support as I feel isolated from everything that was once "me". Are there ways that the victim can foil the brainwashing until s/he is strong enough to be able to leave?
I can't reach out to many people physically, because everything I do is scrutinized. I think he looks through my things (he doesn't know about this sign-in name & I'm using a computer he has no access to).
He has never been physically violent, but he used to be so sweet and now he "jokes" about "knocking me upside the head," etc (funny, ain't it?!). He's increasingly aggressive. I tell him it's not funny and that I don't appreciate it, etc., so I do stand up for myself.
But I've been reading some literature on brainwashing techniques and he has used 99% of them! I love him, but I need to get out. I'm not strong enough to leave now though. I'm worried he might "accidentally" let my cats out or something evil like that. If I move them somewhere else he will know something's up. Please advise.
