Not all abuse leaves bruises. 💜
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, especially when manipulation and control are disguised as love, concern, or protection.
According to the CDC, nearly 1 in 3 women in the U.S. have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
Emotional abuse can look like:
- Being constantly criticized or belittled
- Being isolated from friends and family
- Having your reality questioned or dismissed
- Being monitored, threatened, or controlled
- Feeling afraid to express your thoughts or feelings
Abuse doesn't have to be physical to cause harm. Recognize the signs. Seek help. Support Survivors.
This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we're raising awareness about the behaviors that too often go unrecognized.
