Spousal abuse 101: Force your spouse to break all ties. [View all]
I haven''t seen anyone point out that the current Administration is acting out this rule of abuse right out in the open. The abuser forces his spouse to break all former ties, even of family, so that she is wholly dependent on him. This is a classic maneuver.
That the Administration is acting like an abusive spouse is no secret to anybody, but I find it intriguing how closely they follow the classic patterns.
