Emotional Abuse And Are You In It?
What does emotional abuse look like?
Does your partner explode and then blame you for their outburst?
Are you walking on eggshells in your own home afraid you will do something wrong around your partner?
Your partner gets up in a bad mood and you know to stay out of their way in fear of being screamed at.
Your partner is reactive with yelling and screaming because you try to call them out on their behaviour.
You can’t have a discussion about an issue without your partner intimidating you with rage and even throwing things.
When you hear your partner yelling in your home you instantly think you’ve done something wrong and you begin to think about everything you’ve done that day in case you left a plate on the kitchen counter or you didn’t take out the bin or you haven’t brought in the washing, all of which will result in your partner exploding.
