The Terrorist
This is what the abusive man thinks!
With the Terrorist you have no rights; you cannot argue with him; you cannot leave him; he is in charge of your life. He is very controlling and watches you're every move. He will make vague threats that leave you petrified as to what will happen.
All women are spawn from the devil and need a man like him to keep the women under control by using terror/fear.
The Terrorist will also use the threat of death/suicide so that you will not leave him or have a mind of your own.
He will use the children as a weapon against you, threatening to hurt/kill them; take them from you; get them to abuse you too.
He is very controlling and likes to cause pain and fear in his victim. If you do leave him, he will stalk/follow you/threaten.
Common statements he might make:
“You have only got six months, six months.”
“You are evil; your father was the devil.”
“If you leave, I will kill myself.’
“If you leave, I will kill the kids.”
”I can kill you in a blink of an eye.”
My 2nd ex wasn't as bad as this, but I had the 'I will commit suicide'. One particular night he was walking along a canal and rang me to say he was going to jump in and drown himself if I didn't take him back. I called his bluff, he was also well lubricated with alcohol. I however was petrified that he would carry out his threat, I rang his father to discuss the situation and the father dealt with it on my behalf. He had no intention of jumping in the canal and admitted it to his father. His father needless to say gave him a real ear bending!
