Illusory Abuse Defined

Illusory Abuse – (Post-Truth Politics): The repetitive deployment of a false narrative by an assailant to alter or impact the world’s perception or understanding of the victim to accomplish and satisfy a motive or objective (i.e., mental illness/depression, attention/sympathy, financial profit, alibi, or revenge (1.)) against the person being targeted. In this form of abuse, the assailant acquires or reacquires control of their victim by altering/distorting the existential reality (world/reality) they retreat to. At the same time, transforming and distorting others’ understanding and perception of the victim in that world/reality to further or continue isolating the victim from healthy support systems while the assailant continues victimizing the person being targeted.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms related to illusory abuse are available regarding evidence of the victim’s response to a potential or perceived external threat, whether real or believed to exist, that the victim believes will cause a manifestation or reexperience of the original trauma experienced during the initial false allegation of criminal conduct.
