Emotional abuse is a form of domestic violence that involves the use of verbal or non-verbal behavior to control, humiliate, or intimidate someone.

Emotional abuse can take many forms, including:

• Verbal abuse, such as name-calling, belittling, or threatening
• Non-verbal abuse, such as isolation, stonewalling, or withholding affection
• Psychological abuse, such as gaslighting, manipulation, or control

Emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse. In some cases, it can even be more harmful, as it can leave lasting psychological scars.

• Your partner uses guilt or shame to manipulate you.
• Your partner makes you feel like you're walking on eggshells.
• You're afraid of your partner's reactions.

If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's important to seek help. Emotional abuse is a serious issue and it's important to get out of the situation as soon as possible.

The effects of emotional abuse
