Constantly
being exposed to abusive people behaving abusively can and often does
cause mental/emotional illness. Especially for targets of abuse, and
especially for targets of abuse who are not being supported or protected
by those around them.
Typically in communities and families where Narcissism is present, people often abandon or attack a target of abuse INSTEAD OF supporting or protecting them.
Mental/emotional illness from the trauma of abuse and abandonment can be healed, however it may require completely removing one's self from one's original environment, creating distance or blocking contact completely from those who were abusive and also from those who were purposely non-supportive.
