How to Deal With Power Abusive People (aka Manipulators) (?)
Posted: 09-05-05 12:47pm

Hi.

I thought this could be an interesting but also difficult subject of conversation.

It is true, many people are under pressure because someone else is taking advantage of them. From small annoying remarks to painful hits. Manipulartors appear everywhere: at work, in a relationship, in the family... And many of those are observing the people they put under pressure so they won't report abuse of any kind.

I thaught this could be helpful for the people under pressure as I think that internet is the last place where we can take control over people's writings.


I have my personal reasons to start this subject/forum but I think many people could have the same kind of issue.


I hope that it will help many people if it ever opens.

Hi s_kalb.

Yes, I see where you're coming from. As this is a relationship issue, do you think that issues about manipulators would best fit this category? Maybe you can post to the Troubled and Sbusive Realtionships section of the site?

What do you think?

man this post is old--

let's say that at the moment of writing I've seen the Abusive Rel. section as a love-only section (like overreacting gf, agressive bf, etc) but where family or working relatives aren't really the focused ones -- like if it were for bf/gf issues only.

Also, I was thinking of a manipulators' forum because I had read a book and some more articles about manipulators, how to identify them and more importantly how to verbally defend yourself from their attemts without complications. I would have shared this, thinking in my mind that victims may or may not dare to talk about their problems, but they would in any case appreciate some help ; and a dedicated forum may make the search easier for them.

Of course I understand your hesitation as an admin, because you have to handle a lot of different subjects while I am here talking about just one. You are free to choose wether this idea is worth isolating or not Wink

Thank you for responding though, and have a nice [timezone-dependant greeting].

SK.

LOL. Yeah, that post WAS old. But I'm getting around to responding to ALL the posts in this forum.

I think that the forums are as you perceive them to be...you could post there or to the Family Relationships forum. you've got me thinking, though about the Relationship section in general. I just hesitate to add more forums b/c we have so many!!!
