Sometimes the signs are easy to spot. Obviously if someone hits you that's crossing the line. What about emotional abuse? What about someone that emails you constantly and won't let you see your friends?
Is that abuse?
It can be. Let me ask you, how does your partner make you feel? Scared? Nervous? Afraid of what they'll do? Perhaps the most important thing you have is your instinct. There are other signs, as well. Here are just a few.
If you have been in an abusive situation, how did you get out of it? Did you ever find yourself in such a relationship more than once? I'm interested in hearing more. Please email me and tell me your story.
