When Abuser Weaponizes Your Disability Against You

[browneyedmum]

I just wanted to see if anyone else has had the experience of an Abuser weaponizing your disability against you?

I think this is happening to me, as an Autistic Women, where he’s purposely using my Autistic traits and triggers against me and its leaving me feeling much more vulnerable overall.  I’m going to try to watch out for those sorts of actions in future.

But I was also wondering if anyone has experienced similar?

Hi browneyedmum,

Thank you for your post. I’m sorry to hear about your situation. That must be really upsetting and as you mentioned this adds to your feeling of vulnerability. He is choosing to be abusive and wants to use anything to ensure he has power and control in this situation. You deserve to be treated with love and respect

Best Wishes

Lisa

Hi I’m new to the forum and found it really helpful

I have arthritis since (detail removed by moderator), I’m suffering with my knees so am not driving, I feel under house arrest as he won’t take me to pick up prescriptions. I’m so alone 😔 last week he told our teenage son (I was in the room) that I didn’t have the condition because (detail removed by moderator) That broke my soul. He lies the whole time.

I spent (detail removed by moderator) in hospital earlier this year. He didn’t contact me once..instead he contacted my friends because he was the victim and needed attention. Victim or hero nothing in between.

I got a hospital bug and was really ill. Instead of empathy I got a broken bottle pushed in my face..of course that was my fault
