Emotional abuse is a lot of things. In fact, it can be along the lines of someone implying that you are not being who they want you to be, so then they nonverbally or verbally tell you that you're not good enough. Then when you try to be that person for them by changing for them or by doing something extravagant, they hit you with "You think that doing this for me is going to change anything?" yet, they keep expecting you to be the person they want or they keep expecting you to act extravagantly for them, just for their own benefit of "feeling wanted."
If you are a victim of emotional abuse, here are my views, and hopefully I can write more chapters that help with coping, leaving the relationship, or seeing if the relationship is worth saving.
