What is Emotional Abuse?
Abuse is any behavior that is designed to control and subjugate another human being through the use of fear, humiliation, intimidation, guilt, coercion, manipulation etc. Emotional abuse is any kind of abuse that is emotional rather than physical in nature. It can include anything from verbal abuse and constant criticism to more subtle tactics, such as repeated disapproval or even the refusal to ever be pleased.
Emotional abuse is like brain washing in that it systematically wears away at the victim’s self-confidence, sense of self-worth, trust in their own perceptions, and self-concept. Whether it is done by constant berating and belittling, by intimidation, or under the guise of “guidance,” “teaching”, or “advice,” the results are similar. Eventually, the recipient of the abuse loses all sense of self and remnants of personal value. Emotional abuse cuts to the very core of a person, creating scars that may be far deeper and more lasting that physical ones. In fact there is research to this effect. With emotional abuse, the insults, insinuations, criticism and accusations slowly eat away at the victim’s self-esteem until she is incapable of judging the situation realistically. She has become so beaten down emotionally that she blames herself for the abuse. Her self-esteem is so low that she clings to the abuser.
Emotional abuse victims can become so convinced that they are worthless that they believe that no one else could want them. They stay in abusive situations because they believe they have nowhere else to go.
BEING A VICTIM ISNT A MENTAL ILLNESS!!!!!!!!I agree with Melody too……abuse is abuse no matter wot form it comes in and you dont have to be weak to be a victim……….just sayin

We judge because it’s so easy to do…We are all entitled our opinions of course but i don’t think we can ever understand why a person turns to drugs, suicide or other addictions. I’ve not had anyone in my family with a major drug addiction but i’ve had close family with other sorts of addictions. It’s so easy for us to say they should of said no in the first place but without actually being in their shoes and understanding their problems, we’ll never know why they chose their path.. And of course everyone copes in different ways, instead of judging maybe we should try for some understanding?
Iv grown tired of trying to understand sass Im worn out xxx

I have learnt who my true on line friends are……..just sayin
stressed!
some people are not mentally capable of facing up to their problems and yes its cruel for those of us that are left behind and the impact of suicide on a family is horrific……but the person who takes their own life obviously thinks its the only escape……..and no im not saying suicide is ok because its far from ok I just think some people miss the point that a suicide victim isnt doing it to hurt anyone, it depends on circumstances…….I knw of a woman that was a victim of dosmetic violence for years and years, she was put into safe houses time after time and her husband always found her and talked her into going back, one night she drank witch hazel and took co codamol because she felt it was her only way out and left a heart breaking letter explaining to her family why she cudnt carry on, I dont think she was a coward…….just sayin
