Centre Against Abuse - CAA

When we minimize infidelity as a simple "mistake," we inadvertently minimize the deep trauma it inflicts on the survivor.

​Infidelity is a profound violation of trust that often carries the hallmarks of emotional abuse:

​Gaslighting - Being told you are "paranoid" or "crazy" for noticing shifts in behavior, forcing you to doubt your own reality.

​Erosion of Agency - Being denied the truth means you are denied the right to make informed decisions about your own life, health, and relationship.

​Psychological Toll - The aftermath of chronic deception leaves survivors fighting anxiety, self-doubt, and a shattered sense of safety.

​Betrayal is a choice, not an accident. Recognizing the disrespect and emotional toll for what it really is is the first step toward validation and healing. 💜

​We want to hear from you. How do you define the line between a mistake and a pattern of disrespect?
