I'm pretty sure this is not limited to or primarily something among women.
But what you're talking about is real, and has been a "thing" in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theory for some time.
"Mystification" is about obscuring or camouflaging what is actually going on between two or more people, and particularly in families, in order to maintain a destructive status quo. It also helps to explain the processes behind why so many relationships either fail and end up in separation or, more frequently, fail and end up with two people staying together despite a lack of care and concern for or from one or both parties, or both outright and subtle abuse.
Look up R.D. Laing and mystification. Or just take a look at Laing for the hell of it. He was quite something for his time.
