I Am a Victim of Emotional Abuse

Make a list of all the worst things this person ever did to you and any thoughts you have about how evil this person has been. Read over the list and think about it every time you are tempted to go back. It is scary to be on your own and in a time of major change...but it WILL get better. Think of this as an adventure you can handle.

Most of the time, in situations like this, we are emotionally invested in a fantasy we have of what things would be like if the abuse weren't happening. It is really about giving up on our fantasy about the situation than anything else. The situation would be wonderful if this person was not abusive. But this person IS and that's not changing no matter how much we wish it would.

Please hang in there and create a much better life for yourself. You can and you deserve it. How do I know that? You've taken the first step and that took strength and a vision of something better.

Stay strong reach out to friends and family and keep busy. Sending you support. Some people are really good at emotional manipulation, remember that when your abuser is saying nice things to pull you back in.

Sorry darlin, be strong. Try to stay busy and talk a whole bunch with anyone that will listen.

Omg SOOO MANY kind people here WOw! Hard to keep up with messages sorry. THANKU ALL WOW thats such a wonderful thing. :)

Do not go back because you know it will just continue. People that are abusive typically do not change.

I would check a Domestic Violence Center and see what resources are available.

Don't 😠

Good for you! I know from other people how hard is to leave a relationship as that. Don't look back. You don't need it. You deserve respect.

Good luck!
