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. Abusers can twist stories, spread lies, and create conflict among social circles, eroding the victim’s trust in others. This tactic can lead to the victim doubting their own reality, questioning their sanity, and becoming increasingly dependent on the abuser. Recognizing the signs of triangulation is the first step toward breaking free from its grip. By seeking professional help, maintaining direct communication, and strengthening a personal support network, victims can begin the journey of regaining control and rebuilding their lives. If you or someone you know is experiencing triangulation in an abusive relationship, reaching out to trusted individuals and professionals can be a crucial step toward recovery.
