Identifying Emotional Abuse
Florida Women's Law Group | Aug 02 2021
Relationship abuse can take many forms. Physical abuse is easier to identify and the marks of it are obvious. Just as destructive is emotional and verbal abuse. Unlike bruises or broken bones, the damage is not as visible and attacks the victim’s self-esteem, confidence, and overall mental health. This form of abuse is subtle in the beginning and escalates gradually with the victim not even realizing it. Through words, actions and behaviors a spouse will slowly chip away at their victim’s self-esteem and independence.
