Emotional abuse is a way to control another person by using emotions to criticize, embarrass, shame, blame, or otherwise manipulate another person. In general, a relationship is emotionally abusive when there is a consistent pattern of abusive words and bullying behaviors that wear down a person's self-esteem and undermine their mental health. - National Network to End Domestic Violence
If you’re in the U.S., you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)

If you've been thinking about counselling, let this be your reminder that it's OK to start before you feel "ready".
