"...demons are essentially trying to establish an abusive relationship with us as human beings. If one observes the structure of abusive human relationships, one will notice that the similarities are striking. In abusive human relationships, (1) the abuser humiliates or embarrasses the abused, (2) constantly putting the abused down, (3) subjecting the abused to hyper criticism, (4) uses sarcasm and an unpleasant tone of voice at the expense of the abused, (5) the abuser is extremely moody, (6) ridicules the abused, (7) threatens the abused, (8) attempts to dominate and control, (9) withholds affection, (10) subjects the abused to guilt trips, (11) blames the abused for everything (making everything the abused's fault) and (12) isolates the abused from friends and family."
