EVERY Single One Of These Things Is Emotional Abuse — Yes, Really

8/10/2016

0 Comments

If you are experiencing any of the following things, you're in an emotionally abusive relationship: 
1. Accusing and blaming
2. Punishment by withholding
3. Blocking and diverting
4. Contradicting
5. Discounting
6. Disparaging humour
7. General crazy-making
8. Judging and criticising
9. Undermining
10. Forgetting

Abusive behavior is not always verbal. Your partner may use body language or gestures to control and diminish you. For example:

1. Refusing to talk or make eye contact

2. Sulking, strutting, posturing and stomping out of the room
3. Boredom-crossed arms, showing disgust, rolled eyes and frowning
4. Inappropriate sounds, deep sighs, words like, “Soooo!” or Sstarting a sentence with, “Forget it!”
5. Hitting or kicking something or driving recklessly to scare you
6. Withdrawing or with holding affection to punish you
7. Patronizing, laughing at your opinion, mimicking or smirking
8. Interrupting, ignoring, not listening, refusing to respond
9. Distorting what you say, provoking guilt, or playing victim
10. Yelling, out-shouting or swearing to shut you down

2) Your strengths and accomplishments, especially the ones of which they are pathologically envious 
3) Your need to please them and their need to be perpetually dissatisfied
