Although emotional abuse is considered domestic abuse the reality of actually making a complaint about emotional abuse is not taken seriously by the legal system. In fact it is documented in research that many victims of this type of abuse never get justice. I reported after advice from a solicitor, the case heard was one minor case of verbal abuse which a Judge dismissed at the 2nd hearing. After not receiving any justice I decided to start writing my first book. Just published a few weeks ago.
Yes, it’s true. Emotional abuse is not recognized for what it is. I fear it’s too often relegated to “normal wear and tear of a relationship.” It’s messy to calibrate so it’s easier for courts to overlook it. 😢🙄
Thank you so much for this again I've been focusing on this for the past two days and I can't get past how to do other things that I must do in my life and it's scaring me
That happens for many people who have had toxic relationships, I know. My suggestion is to keep your emotional pace on slow motion when meeting new people or considering current friendships. Observe the relationship and your reactions to it. Come home and think it through. Observe and think. Then, you’ll begin to trust your own instincts.
Mine took a job at my workplace and started going to my church. Luckily he was only at my job for about a week. But he was at my church for several months playing as a musician. I left that church needless to say.
I hear ya . I do think we should not tolerate or put up with their abuse and continue to be traumatized.. but they are still human. From this planet. And a lot of the time they’re coming from a place from their own hurt and trauma. Not that it makes their abuse and ways acceptable or ok.. but I think we should not dehumanize them completely. I love your videos . I hope this comment doesn’t come off as rude . I don’t mean it that way at all.
