Power relationships are where there is an unbalance of power between the people involved. One is often more powerful than the other- this person feels strong and in control of themselves and the situation. The lesser powered person will feel abused and generally put up with the controlling and manipulative ways of the person in higher power. The person in higher power may say, "you can't leave me, I will kill myself." so the lesser powered- person will stay in the relationship out of fear that the higher powered person will kill themselves. When the lesser powered person feels vulnerable and unsafe, you can understand how this could be considered abusive - the lesser powered person is not allowed to leave, but is unhappy if they stay. It is a lose-lose situation for them.
