Controlling behaviors can be difficult to spot and they can be insidious,slowly over time eroding what on the surface appeared to be a healthy relationship.
Controlling people often have great fears over their own internal landscape,unble to deal with their own affect they attempt to control people,places and things around them.Such folks are also often at high risk for substance abuse issues.
Controllers gain a foothold often by getting their partner's to begin doubting and questioning their own value and worth.They feed their partner's double messages and are often master's at delivering insult disgused as a compliement or employing the use of sarcastic humor.Passive/aggresive forms of behavior are also common.
