What does the abuser get out of his abuse?

That depends on the form of the abuse Answer If he is sadistic - he gets gratification. If he is a control freak - control Answer If he is a narcissist - he avoids intimacy and secures narcissistic supply (some narcissistic love to be feared and hated) Answer what it most likely looks to me is that he enjoys the control. That is his way of discipline and to know that the abusee will do nothing to stop him.It is control and satisfaction of power Answer Power over another.

They are under the illusion that it will solve their problems of feeling small and out of control themselves Answer They get control and nothing more. They have no feeling or concern for another...unless it will effect them in some way (eg loss of financial support).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
