Abuse
Abuse comes in many forms, not just physical. It can be financial, verbal, spiritual, sexual and emotional. Many people use the excuse that ‘he/she doesn’t hit me, so…’ and they therefore put up with their partner’s shitty behavior. They are often gaslit to believe that they caused this behavior or that they deserved it. Often when you try to discuss the problem, they will say it didn’t happen or you are exaggerating, being too emotional or dramatic, that it’s not a big deal. Slowly, over time, you start to feel crazy, like you are losing your mind. For many, keeping a journal of the events or recording conversations/arguments can be helpful to remind you that you aren’t crazy, that the event really did happen as you recall. It will also come in handy when the time comes to go to court, so that you can show just what a vile monster they are. Abuse in front or around children teaches them a skewed ‘normal’ that will affect their entire life. Visit Dr Ramani’s YouTube channel ...
