What is emotional abuse? This type of abusive tactic is used by toxic partners to exert power and control over someone by manipulating a partner’s emotions. It can be difficult for a survivor to recognize emotional abuse because it doesn’t leave behind the indicative signs of physical abuse, like bruises and black eyes. However, a partner who uses emotional abuse will likely escalate to other, more physically violent forms of abusive behavior as time goes on.

Whether we Tweet it, type it or merely think it, these types of statements are a form of victim-blaming, also called victim-shaming. And they’re destructive. They retraumatize and degrade survivors. They convince other survivors to stay silent, which in turn allows their perpetrators to get away without consequence.
