If you think you're dealing with an abuser, look for:
D - DENY any wrongdoing
A - ATTACK allegations and victim reputation
R -REVERSE
V - VICTIM
O - OFFENDER, so people ally to them and turn against the true victim.

#SecretSantaAoNZ I’m lucky enough to be companion person to these two young dudes: Ngeru the Handsome (black nose) and Buddy the Mini Chonk. They’re five years old and joined us from the SPCA at four months as tiny, frightened scraps. Happily, they warmed up!
