It sounds like a classic case of turning the abuser’s own tactics against them. The same isolation techniques that were once used to control and manipulate others are now being wielded against the abuser themselves. By cutting off contact with other family members, she ensures that she alone controls the narrative, leaving no room for alternative perspectives or external influences. This is coercive control in a different form—one that mirrors the very behavior the abuser once used to dominate and suppress others. Now, the tables have turned, and they are experiencing the same isolation and manipulation they inflicted for years.
