Howell.
What exactly is mental abuse?
There are a wide range of things that can be considered mental abuse. If you’re not sure, just ask yourself this: Did the actions of words of someone else make you feel that you had no power or no worth? Did you feel intimidated? Was it humiliating? If you answered yes to any of these questions then it may be a case of mental abuse. Here are a few examples that we’ve seen time and time again.
- Being constantly criticized.
- Being afraid due to someone intimidating you.
- Being stalked or cyberstalked.
- Being called names or being put down on a regular basis.
- Threatening you that they’ll reveal personal info you don’t want to get out. This may include sexual orientation, involvement in certain sexual acts, or other highly personal information.
- Being forced to isolate from your friends and family.
- Threatening to harm you, your family members, children, pets, or others that are important to.
- Mind games.
- Guilt trips.
