This is an article I wrote in response to a thing that annoys me.

Thank you,

That would also apply to what I would think the definition would make more sense being. Wouldn’t even need to be DA, just frustrations over their partner. To be clear, the problem is the friends/community around them denying their experiences.
Which if anything, means the fault is between the Neurotypical partner and their neurotypical friends. Yet the neurotypical failure to empathize even with other neurotypicals is somehow blamed on the non neurotypical partner.
Also,. from my own experience, my ex’s neurotypical sister would ignore her rants, because they saw how she was the abusive one, and once appologised to me on her behalf. So it is possible that their Cassandra syndrome is the frustration of the abuser for failing to get support from their community to justify their abuse.
And now they are gaslighting the whole psychiatric community so they get that support.
In a least some cases that definitely seems viable as people have used it in other ways as well. Just another way.
I can see the “condition” being useful, but not as defined. Very restrictive, ableist and sexist.
