Thank you for sharing this. I'm a survivor and the ebooks of a Christa Lay "Their Strategies - Don't Fall in their trap"; helps me overcome my fears.

I think excuses can be trained through cultural norms. But I also think that as an individual when we come up across moments where we feel like we're confused or justifying someone else's behavior or making excuses for someone else's behavior I think we're experiencing a reorganization of our thoughts. And due to the nature of abuse and the abusive action had taken that your making excuses for is your mind just wrapping itself around the situation and your trying to find something that fits.
