What is emotional abuse & how to deal it?

There are certain actions / gestures or insults fromour near and dear ones that bleed us from inside. We keep ignoring the fact as we love our closed ones.

Emotional abuse is actually very difficult to understand. They are those wounds which at times is not even understood by the sufferer as its a prolonged abuse . There are even no proofs against the actions and the sufferer realises only when its becoming extreme. As time passes by the sufferer gets traumatized and they feel as if everything is happening because of them in their lives. As the person who is responsible for abuse is aware of the weaknesses of the sufferer, they use it as a tool to emotionally blackmail them at times.

Do not consider these emotional abuses as small ! They are as big as the physical abuse. Prolonged mental abuse develops more severe consequences than physical abuse. As such emotional abuse results into anxiety , depression, low morality . These also develops self destruction like suicide or can develop excessive unrealistic thinking which is nothing but losing oneself completely.

These people need love and care and a person who can make them aware of the situations happening in their lives are nothing but emotional abuse. There is one thing to be understood here is one should never try to explain to the abuser or talk about how the sufferer feels as they would even use that as a tool . One should not feel guilty of losing the abuser by taking action against them as at times its very important to end the relation . Do not try to counter the abuser with arguments as it is the action through which sufferer can be harmed more . Ignore their words as that is the only way out when they try to provoke you. When one is mentally prepared to fight a solution for oneself take the help of women institutions or any expertise of the field . In such cases the abuser needs to be threatened so that one can come out of the situation.

The most important thing to be understood is one should always keep those people in your lives for whom one is their first priority and not just mere an option , which they want to use only at their convenience. Love oneself fully and take a step towards ones freedom from the wrong.
