Emotional Abusers (based on hetero relationships, but we all know this stuff happens to everyone).

Excerpt:
An Emotional abuser will try to make his partner responsible for his happiness. Either through direct comments, or indirect implications, the abuser will let his partner know that he is not happy, that it is somehow her fault, and that she must fix it.
[...]
Emotional abusers overcompensate for their self-hate with a warped kind of narcissism. They genuinely believe that YOU SHOULD know how they feel, and know what to do to make them happy. AND that you should be willing to do those things without having to be asked or told. They believe that they DESERVE to be treated better, to be put first, to be given preferential treatment. He will expect you to read his mind. He lives by the "if you really loved me, you'd KNOW how I feel" game, and of course will punish you for not being telepathic.


Boundaries:
(1) Where YOU (your body, your privileges, your feelings, your repsponsibilities) end and someone else begins.
(2) What you have so that you can let in people you trust and keep out people you don't.
