Many victims of mental abuse don’t realize that a person doesn’t have to hit them in order for them to be the victim of domestic violence. There are a wide range of ways that a person can exert power and control over their spouse, partner, or relative, and many of those ways don’t involve any type of physical contact. If you’re in that position, if you think you’ve been the victim of mental abuse, then today is the day to contact Law Offices of Torrence L. Howell at (909) 920-0908 to get help.

What exactly is mental abuse?

There are a number of actions and words that could qualify as mental abuse. In short, if you feel powerless, intimidated, humiliated, or worthless as the result of something someone did or said, then you’ve been the victim of mental abuse. Some examples of the most common types of mental abuse include:

• Being constantly criticized.
• Being intimidated.
• Being stalked in real life or online.
• Being called names and being put down.
• Being threatened by someone that they’ll reveal private information you wouldn’t want revealed.
• Being forced to isolate from friends and family.
• Someone threatening to hurt you or your children, pets, family members, etc.
• Being the victim of mind games.
• Being made to feel guilty on a regular basis.

Note that these are just some examples. If you believe these or other examples of mental abuse apply to you, then call Law Offices of Torrence L. Howell at (909) 920-0908 for your free case evaluation.
