Just saying Emotional abuse is crippling. It robs a person of their self-esteem, the ability to think rationally, confidence in themselves and their independence. If some ones has caused any of the following feelings it is time to seek help: • Isolation from others, you rarely see friends and family. • Excessive dependence on him/her. • You constantly think about saying or doing the right thing so that the other person does not become upset. • You live in the moment, unable to plan ahead because you fear the other persons response to any plans or ideas you have. Any action you take is criticized unless it is one of compliance to his/her desires. • You feel as if you don’t have the energy it would take to fight back against their controlling behavior. You doubt your ability to stand-up and speak your own mind and express your own opinions. • You feel a sense of depression and anxiety most of the time. • You feel as if anything you do or say will be met with anger or dismissal. Your feelings and desires just don’t seem to matter to the other person.
