Our world is filled with people who will use horrible means in order to get their way in life. These people are known as abusers. Abusers will use tactics, both physically or mentally, to make the victim feel as if what the abuser is doing is justified and makes the victim feel at fault.
Emotional abuse is a way of abuse that involves mistreating someone emotionally and mentally. One example of emotional abuse is through the use of gaslighting a victim to look as if the abuser is not at fault. Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse used to make someone question their own thoughts as the abuser denies any forms of abuse. This causes the victim to feel as though it was all in their head and that the abuser did nothing wrong.
Signs that could lead to someone being abusive include, but are not limited to:
- Controlling nature
- Manipulative
- Invades personal space and privacy
- Constantly judgemental towards the victim
