Abuse doesn’t always start with yelling or bruises — it often begins with charm, subtle control, and confusion.

The cycle of abuse moves in stages: from idealization to manipulation, escalation, and silence. Stage 3 is where things often turn — where the mask slips, the fear grows, and the harm becomes harder to ignore. By the time it’s obvious, many feel too trapped, too ashamed, or too exhausted to leave.

Recognizing the stages is the first step to breaking free — because you deserve safety, not survival mode.
