Emotional abuse is pervasive and cruel

You should feel proud of the strength and courage you have found within you to leave

Domestic or emotional abuse can happen to anyone; it does not discriminate, it happens within heterosexual relationships and in same-sex partnerships. The bottom line is that abusive behavior is never acceptable, whether from a man, woman, young or older person we as individuals deserve to feel valued, respected, and safe.

Domestic abuse will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime

If you feel that you are constantly watching what you say and do in order to avoid a blow-up or have dread of being alone with that person it may be a strong indication of a emotionally abusive relationships that can over time destroy your self-worth, lead to anxiety and depression, and make you feel helpless and alone. 

In cases of severe emotional abuse, there may be no choice but to leave the relationship. Emotional abusers can only change so much as their behavior tends to be ingrained. If the abuser is not willing to change or get help for their abusive behavior, it is time for you to get your own help.

No one deserves to be abused and help is available.
