  • What we know about emotional abuse is that the cuts that come from that cut deeper than any physical abuse can cut. What we know about emotional abuse is that MOST abusers like to have their audience of one--so that there are no witnesses to the nasty things that they say and do. What we know about emotional abuse is that some of the abusers portray an "outward" side of being friendly, funny, and socially acceptable ---UNTIL you really get to know them. Emotional abuse kills. Speak out more

  • I see alot of this in myself via deliberately send mixed messages, or ignore or just act cold. I know I have learned to be this way from a previous long and horrible relationship, and often, I recognize what I'm doing but I don't know how to stop.

    I'm in a relationship where I have been emotionally abused, threatened and terrorized I feel 'I learned from the best' and I can't stop my behavior now. I have been getting better, but I also recognize his tendencies and we need to stop hurting

  • @lovesmygirls213 you are very honest not a many people come forward like u just did I just wrote an entire thing on another video and I am the same as you only cause I have been pushed off the cliff Many of us hurt from previous relationships and tend to carry the wounded part of our selves into another realm

    Its so hard Ia m working on myself but I see where he and others just love to control and discipline and chastise till u r bleeding right out in the open

    its so sad stay grounded

    im so unhappy he will follow me to work etc if i leave a billion miss call n house vists any advice guys i dnt let my family or friends know

  • Thank you for this enlightening perspective. It goes to the heart of the abuser. They are the GREAT DECEIVER.

  • My mother has a real knack for starting a sentence with a compliment and ending it with an insult.

  • @Neopetsfan777 You are right, this is a cultural problem -- the rise of bullies is evidence. I know you did not meat to blame ALL OF ANYONE..........PEACE AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!

  • my mom gives me emotional abuse ;( i wish she would understand

  • @Neopetsfan777 My comment was not about the patients, I find that many health care workers treat each other badly, the culture in healthcare is very abuse on the peer ot peer level.........

  • I liked this video about emotional abuse. It was very direct and well informed. Thought with me I saw it more through the eyes of family relations, and not with a partner. It is good to recognice such signs, also to knowing that what one went or go through isn't good done towards us, and we have the right to step forward and make it Stop from continuing.

  • I have been through 3 abusive relationships.. It was a continual road, until empowered myself with God, knowledge, therapy,and wonderful supportive friends. D V mutilates a person inner heart.it creates darkness, lonliness, a "nothingness" a victim has to find a good hold to a rock, to climb that mountain, but each step strengthens the walk.,even if one slides a bit, one is farther up than down. abuse is criminal in any form,it rapes a persons rights away and destroys the soul. I am a survivor

  • @bssmart1118, that is awesome! Happy you are now a survivor. It is sad how much it really breaks down a person and destroys slowly the life of her/him. Many persons getting abused could have come much further with life, as with school, studies, etc... Yet, if they are a lot abused this might hinder them in most ways, especially if they already lack self esteem and beleif in themselves.

  • @SylviaPenguin : ) Thank you Sylvia, OOh most definately it hinders a persons abilitites.There is no forward gain. like a "limbo"and"hell" Abuse is so apparent world wide.Even in our govt's possesiveness of the citizens. But, ya know what? We have gained our learning,from experiences our inner lessons with what we are made of, and who we are. The strength we gain is from a mountain which we have climbed. a song which kept me motivated is "mountains" by lonestar ,also God,support, and knowledge

  • @bssmart1118, that is awesome! May God keep on blessing you and use you for His glory! :-)

  • @SylviaPenguin Thank you Sylvia, and may God Keep His Graces surrounding you on your journey in life..always remember to speak up and listen to your heart, this is why God gave this to us as our internal brain, of course using our reg physical brain for facts. But, in the end, the heart wins out, and it never lies.".I am a mountain with immovable force" Domestic Violence should never have to exist. It is pure evil and satan/lucifer at its best to destroy.. Have a wonderful Blessed Day

  • But my step-dad was violent and mentally and emotionally abusing me I think.

    his gone now but after 3 years he really screwed me up.

    im 14.

    what abuse was he giving me? x

  • can they change or are doomed for life?

  • My dad mentally abuses me. He calls me every bad name in the book. He also says i'll never amount to anything. He's a monster. I HATE HIM. I can't wait untill I turn 18 so I can move out

  • Excellent video. Thank you.

  • well..

    i'm officially depressed.

    great.

  • I believe I learn to be an abuser by being abused.

  • Bravo...thank you for putting it so succinctly.

    When will our inept authorities (system) learn to recognize these very basic characteristics???

    Police are in most danger when responding to a 'domestic violence' call that are mostly caused by some sort of abuse and yet they are NOT trained (or capable) of spotting the most basic traits.

    Absolutely inept officers!!!

  • "The abuser tend to play victim or they take offence quickly" - very accurate

    Sometimes people defend themselves by abusing back once they can tolerate no more, and may appear to qualify as an abuser - and the real abuser will take advantage of that.

  • Thanks for that. Much appreciated!

  • Power and control can be done with money, love, intimidation. Read Claude Steiner "the other side of power." it is found via Google search engine. I'm a psychologist.

  • Financial abuse is when an individuals earnings are denied or are not allowed to go out to work. This is a way of isolating someone, making them dependent on the abuser. Emotional abuse has caused me to have depression and anxiety - bullies are abusers.

  • "One partner does not let the other be financially independent"

    What does that mean?

    Don't you mean "one partner doesn't let the other partner control all of their money?"

  • Check the free guide on key information about emotional abuse. Financial abuse is when one partener DOESN'T let the other be financially independent. It has nothing to do with controlling money.

  • Thanks for all your comments!

  • Excellent video! This was so informative and this is a big problem in the healthcare industry -- among peers and coworkers, as well as many personal/family situations.

  • Thank you!

  • thanks for the video

    to all the emotionaly abused:

    you are not alone we love you

  • I really loved this video.

    Just broke up with someone and was doubting myself, and now I am not.

    Thanks for posting!

  • Its RAPE of the mind...thank you posting this. My abuser is a high profile person. Trying to get people to believe the truth ...is another form of abuse. I am NOT crazy!!!

  • You're right on, some people call it emotional rape indeed

  • I experienced the same thing, he accused me of being mentally ill whereas I was depressed because of the way he treated me. My best friend encouraged me to leave him then ended up marrying him

  • @lolatu6262 people with high profiles can be extremely narcissistic - and therefore, extremely abusive and manipulative con artists. I hope you walked away.

  • You're welcome dajahimani :)
