A unique form of abuse perpetrated by someone with a personality disorder specifically due to that disorder. It is thought by many to not be a valid form of abuse (having no scientific and/or medical research behind it) and that using the term(s) is a form of ableism which further demonizes personality disorders.
Examples of this form of abuse include Narcissistic Abuse, Borderline Abuse, and Antisocial Abuse.
Person 1: I suffered from narcissistic abuse from my dad when I was a kid.
Person 2: I'm sorry that happened to you, but that was just abuse. Personality disorder abuse is a made-up thing and pretty ableist.
