A Tactic to Avoid Change. The Abusive and Neglectful Woman often creates confusion where she goes. She changes the emotional tones while retelling events, misquotes and shifts emphasis with each retelling. These women resort to anger or sadness after they have been confronted by a less confusing version of events. When a listener questions a neglectful and abusive woman they blameshifts any uncertainty onto a different person or blame people for not paying close attention. Often, she tries to change the subject of conversation as a way of confusing the conversation. She tries to appear “honestly” frustrated when any confusion occurs.
