When people think about abusive relationships, they most often think of physical abuse, but that’s not all there is. I was in an abusive relationship for years. It wasn’t physical abuse (until it was.) Most of the time it was emotional, psychological, & financial abuse.

He belittled, berated, & blamed me until my self-esteem was nonexistent. I was isolated from family & friends, until only his were left. Then he bad mouthed me to them too, so I’d have no one. He made sure I was financially dependent on him, then berated me for it.

It was years, & a bit of physical abuse, before I finally got out. Verbal, emotional, psychological, financial, & digital abuse are all common types of on non-physical abuse. If you’re in an abusive relationship, physical or otherwise, know that you are not alone.

You don’t deserve what is happening to you, no matter what your abuser tells you. Below is a link where you can seek help, or even just learn more about relationship abuse & how to recognize it. Please seek help if you can 🙏 #domesticviolence
