There can be endless scenarios where they do and don’t and everything in between. The abuser could be someone who knows they have to do certain things to get what they want and haven’t put the word “abuse” to it. It can be someone so selfish that they’re willing to abuse, and never stop to think about how it affects anyone.
The abuser could be a child with dmdd who can’t fully grasp abuse yet. It can be a partner with bpd who doesn’t realize the impact they’re having on others.
It can be someone who knows what abuse is, and they feel like it’s justified. Or they know they’re abusive and know they need help, or literally anything else.
It never excuses the abuse.
