Understanding Triangulation in Abusive Relationships: A Hidden Manipulation Tactic
Triangulation is a manipulation tactic commonly used in abusive relationships to create confusion, foster isolation, and maintain control. At its core, triangulation involves using a third party to distort communication and shift blame, often making the victim feel isolated and gaslighted.
