To clarify please

Would you most if not all of perpetrators of domestic abuse, are either personality disordered or mentally unwell?

They definitely have trauma.

Personality disordered like Narcissism, BPD or sociopathy

@2cool4school They are both Cluster B disorders.

@JosephtheEmpath ok so now that you have listed what they have in common…

I can say that Narcissism lies on a spectrum and abusers have high levels of it

The way abusers are nice at the start. Idealisation phase

@uncalled4 Really this is the perfect place for a narcissist to be. They have such a high opinion of self and want to be admired, they will pretend knowledge to seem smart, They don't even realize they are projecting, the self denial is so strong.

@SW-User My narc actually was educated and intelligent. She was also attractive and that made her dangerous. She felt entitled to call the shots. Problem: I wasn't about to let her, and she'd argue for hours and hours. She had no concept of the futility of constant battle, and in fact, I think she got off on it.

In my layman's opinion, I see more of what I consider to be BPD on here, but I'm sure some might fit the DSM criteria for NPD.

@uncalled4 Wow not fun for you I'm sure.
But I get that, some are quite intelligent and knowledgeable. And known for being charming.
I would say TPD, triple, haha.

Almost definitely. Your emotional response to the things that are going on around you is based on your self-talk. If you have inaccurate self talk, you're going to have inappropriate reactions.
