Sadly I see this with people I know and used to/still care about. Friends, co-workers, my dad's side of the family... I suppose old habits are hard to kick and you can only help people that want to be helped/will set proper boundaries. People will put up a good front too, but behind the curtains... Anyhow, for my sake I've had to minimize contact or cut out some of these people out of my life because it started to affect my life a bit too much.people can behave quite differently when they are out of the grasp of their psychopathic abuser, and revert right back when they meet them again.
