Are They Constantly Breaking Up to Control You? Probably. #boundaries

Are you dating (or worse, married to) someone who breaks up with you over and over? When a partner uses attention, praise, or silence to keep power—and still expects your total loyalty—that’s not love. It’s a power game, and it’s unhealthy.
If this “on again, off again” pattern happens all the time, it’s a clear red flag. You don’t have to live on that bumpy road, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Gentle Reminders and Next Steps
-Trust your feelings. If you feel anxious and on edge, pay attention.
-Set and keep boundaries. No more threat-based “tests.”
-Talk to someone safe: a friend, counselor, or support line.
-Make a plan. If the pattern keeps repeating, consider leaving.

You deserve a steady, caring relationship—not one that keeps you guessing.

Are you in relationship with a Hijackal? That's someone who consistently puts you down, love-bombs and gaslights you, creates confusion and chaos, and causes you to second-guess yourself?
The term "Hijackal" was coined by Dr. Rhoberta Shaler in 2015 to help non-clinically identify those kinds of narcissistic behavior…and she spent the last 25 years of her long career help folks recognize, understand, and make decisions about how to keep themselves (and their children) safe and sane.

Dr. Shaler passed away in April 2024, leaving this vast legacy for reference.
