🚩Sense of personal responsibility and guilt for what actually hurts you: “He (she) yelled at me, but I’m to blame because I haven’t cooked dinner on time.”
🚩 Gradual isolation. “Why do you need these stupid friends? Now you have me. Isn’t that enough for you?”
🚩 Denial of development. “Now that we’re together, you don’t need your job. You’ll be more useful at home.”
🚩Control. “Where are you going? With whom? Why? When will you be back? Why are you so late?” (calls and messages every half hour, anger and jealousy if not answered on time)
🚩 Humiliation. “And where will you go dressed like that ?! You’re embarrassing me!”; “Do you seriously want to study?? You are not even capable of …!”; “Don’t eat this cake, you’ll become fat, and no one likes fat.”
These are just a few examples. There are many forms of abuse and often signs are not visible at first glance. Just remember that abuse is not always about beating or punching and your mental health is MORE important than any relationship❤️
