My mother had Narcissistic Personality Disorder and abused both my father and her second husband, both men forgiving her daily. It was my mother who filed for divorce from my father since people with NPD cannot see that anything is their fault. I asked my father how he felt after the divorce, and he said, "Like I've been released from a concentration camp."

The issue of narcissism wasn't addressed in this article. It's the worst form of abuse. I have a son and grandson who are victims of this awful abuse. This article is totally correct that men are victims of abuse, too.

Abuse doesn't have to be physical, many times our spouses use mental abuse. Men are "fixers" and women are "nurturers". Each plays a vital role in the family. That is the way Heavenly Father set it up. I have found that Women like the mind-controlling approach. "You hold the Priesthood and this is what I want you to do" attitude.
Heavenly Father set the standard of walking side by side and helping one another and neither shall walk ahead or behind the other. In all the cases I have seen, Women think that they have to have the upper hand and be in control. Men give in because of love.
