Exploitation: The predator exploits the victim for their own personal gain. This can include financial exploitation, sexual exploitation, or emotional exploitation.
Control: The predator uses manipulative tactics to control the victim's behavior, thoughts, and feelings. This can include gaslighting, isolation, and threats of violence.

Predatory relationships can have a devastating impact on the victim's life. Victims may experience:

Emotional abuse: The predator may use verbal abuse, humiliation, and intimidation to control the victim. This can lead to feelings of low self-esteem, shame, and guilt.
Psychological abuse: The predator may use gaslighting, manipulation, and isolation to confuse and disorient the victim. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and paranoia.
Physical abuse: The predator may use physical violence to control the victim. This can lead to injuries, pain, and even death.
