The abuser constantly reminds the victim of how worthless he is, how he has failed, and how he is incapable of doing anything on his own. The victim eventually believes this as fact and either stays with or returns to the abuser in many cases. The relationship is clearly one-sided; one maintains complete power and control while the other is brainwashed into believing lies to keep the individual in his subservient status.
Perhaps a new hymn describing our codependency with god?
