There are many hallmark traits of an abuser. The following is a list of the traits. It is important to remember that abusers come from all social backgrounds, exist in all professions and are amongst all economic levels of society.
1. Has a poor self-esteem.
2. Has both nice and evil personality.
3. Expresses inappropriate levels of jealousy.
4. Isolates victim from family and friends.
5. Strong desires for victim to stop working outside the home.
6. Has constant social problems with others.

10. Verbal and physical assaults, demeans others with insults, criticisms, and/or lies.
11. Either denies, minimizes or justifies the abuse.
12. Feels entitled to every good thing in life.
13. Will do anything to manipulate victim to think abuser is sorry, feels remorse and will change. Yet, returns to same pattern of abuse.
