During an interview about the life and death of Gia, Robert Hilton said she died because of lack of love.
When she was under drug abuse treatment, her mother quit participating because she was blamed on for most of Gia's emotional problems. Her mother left when Gia was a child. She was a pretty selfish woman and kept rejecting Gia and not accepting that her own actions had had any impact on her daughter's life.
If you haven't seen the famous film starred by Angelina Jolie, I recommend it. Also…

What do we focus on?
If we keep focusing on the abuser, then we leave little time and energy to focus on ourselves as victims of abuse.
Abusers know exactly what to say to make the victim feel responsible for something they are not. They aim to confuse people so they can keep control of the victim and the whole situation.
If we focus on them, we might fall in this place where we will spend our entire lives speaking about the abuser, which is exactly what abusers want. We are empowering…

Some time ago, I read a book called "Getting to Yes" by Fisher, Ury, and Patton. It's basically a book on negotiation techniques used for business purposes, but it helped me a lot in my personal life.
I am a firm believer of the things I stand for. Hence, I tend to defend my views till the bitter end. My approach to solving problems was rather fight than flight. On top of it, when I was born (November the 20th, 1962), my mom asked an "astrologist" to draw my birth chart and they found that I ha…

Some abusers are easy to spot because they exhibit noticeable traits of abusive nature. This is to say, some may have a bad temper, be overly jealous or possessive, mistreat others, they may be rude or unkind, unconsiderate, they may give other people a threatening look, and so on.
But some abusers are true con persons. They conceal their emotional abusive nature deep inside and appear before other people's eyes as truly caring and charming people. Manipulative abusers will tell people what the…
