The specifics of mental domestic violence

There are many different things that can qualify as mental abuse.

The types of emotional abuse and psychological abuse that may qualify includes:

• Being constantly criticized
• Being threatened that they will reveal personal information you’d be afraid to have the world know, such as sexual orientation or involvement in risqué behavior
• Being forced into isolation from family and friends
• Constantly being made to feel guilty
• Being intimidated
• Being called names
• Being put down
