Emotional Abuse

It is an unfortunate fact that domestic abuse is very common in America, with roughly 5 million women and 3 million men suffering from domestic abuse every year. There are many forms of domestic abuse, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse. Regardless of the type of abuse one suffers, they are all very damaging and likely to leave lasting scars. Emotional abuse in particular can take a heavy toll on victims of such abuse.

Examples of Emotional Abuse

People commit emotional abuse through tactics that belittle their victims and make them feel ashamed, depressed, and hurt. Some tactics perpetrators of emotional abuse use on their victims include:

• Seclusion from the spouse so the victim feels alone
• Degradation through hurtful language and behaviors
• Coercing the victim into doing something so the perpetrator can feel powerful

These types of emotional abuse can harm one’s self-esteem and interfere with not only their present relationships, but also those that they might form in the future.
