What is abuse?

Published by amybrowne under Motivation Edit This

I am wondering why in the heck did I start an abuse blog and some of you may wonder too. I am healing. Yeah those who know me personally will say i healed long ago when I came to my senses. However, you know what the hurt continues to this day simply because I struggle to put a roff over our heads, while some dang fool has the easy road.

 

Physical abuse is hitting, slapping, or even tripping you.

Emotional abuse is the name calling belittling and other name-calling meant to hurt your feelings.

Sexual abuse is being forced to do something sexual against your will, but when your partner says come on let us do it and I’ll leave you alone.

Intimidation abuse is the do this or else type of stuff

Isolation abuse is separating the victim from family and friends who would tell the victim to split. .

Economic abuse using household money for selfish reasons, such as drinking, gambling, or shopping

 

Guess which ONE I did not suffer from in this marriage?  Physical, yes that is the only one.

 

I write and share, because I know it is helping someone.
