What makes an abuser abuse? This is a question that we often ask ourselves when trying to understand our own abusive situations. We don't understand the mindset of the person who is hurting us. Many factors can come into play, from how a person grew up, to mental illness. We can analyze all day long, but perhaps God has a much simpler answer to thi…
What is Narcissistic Abuse, and what makes it different than regular abuse?

Many women struggle to know whether or not they are, in fact, living in abuse. More accurately, they allow doubt to overshadow what they likely already know inside.
