18. Isolating you from friends and family
19. Using money to control
20. Constant calling or texting when you are not with him/her
21. Threatening to commit suicide if you leave
It’s important to remember is that psychological abuse is absolutely not your fault. Abusers are expert manipulators with a knack for getting you to believe that the way you are being treated is your fault. These people know that everyone has insecurities, and they use those insecurities against you.
Abusers can convince you that you do not deserve better treatment or that they are treating you this way to “help” you.
Some abusers even act quite charming and nice in public so that others have a good impression of them. In private is a different story, which is also quite baffling.
If you see yourself in these words, know that there is little hope for your relationship to improve. It would take a monumental amount of insight and motivation for the abuser to change and unfortunately, this is rarely the case.
If you are in an abusive relationship, I urge you to get out — with professional help if needed. Often the first step in leaving the abuser is obtaining counseling just to rebuild your esteem so that you can leave.
I particularly want you to know that you may “love” this person, but that they do not “love” you or respect you.
I assure you that in time you will get over this person if you break it off. You will be making the right decision … no looking back.
