Emotional abuse

All abuse is not physical. Emotional abuse is very prevalent and leaves some of the longest lasting effects. When one person tries to control the actions and will of another person, they often do so by tearing down their spirit in many ways. Those accusations that come out of nowhere. Yup! Those ridiculous tantrums because you didn't do it their way. Yup! Threatening you because you wanted to go out with your friends. Yup! Restricting your access to cash. Yup. Documenting your every move. Yup. Constantly allig to check on you, where you're at and what you're doing. Most definitely. Don't dismiss those things. Abuse often starts there!
