Breaking the Silence: Understanding the Impact of Emotional Abuse


During my professional experience as IDVA, almost every individual I've encountered first endured emotional abuse in their relationships.

It's a silent predator, making way through feelings of love and trust towards the partner/ perpetrator, leaving its victims in a not visible “blood pool”, with permanent unseen wounds.

Many women don't immediately recognize it as emotional abuse. 

They may describe it as mentally torment, overwhelming fear due to constant threats, or energetically drained from enduring belittlement, lack of support and understanding. The absence of physical abuse often masks the severity of this form of violence. Sometimes they are so brave that they believe they can endure more for the sake of children.

Other times, they can’t recognise it because in their family and environment it always has been like that. From father to son, this form of behaviour is considered man-ish.

The Emotional abusor is the master of manipulation, control, and he can erode anyone’s self-worth and self-esteem. His partner is his slave and entraps her with a mix of feelings between drops of love and rivers of crying. She gets confused, would like to help him when he is showing repent and ask forgiveness, but then would like to leave when he is angry and calling her names. You feel the entrapment and the shame to ask for help.

The impact of emotional abuse is profound, leaves scars that may take longer to heal than any physical injury. Victims are left questioning their own mental health and their role: are they the cause, the problem?

They are feeling isolated and entrapped in an abyss of emotional draining.

Recognizing emotional abuse is the crucial first step toward liberation. It's about understanding manipulation falsely used in the name of love

⚠️It's reclaiming your own right to live a life free from any coercion!  

⚠️it’s about restoring your shattered pieces of self-worth and self-esteem and setting yourself free!

To those who may be silently enduring emotional abuse, you are not alone. Your experiences are valid, and there is support available.

Take the next steps towards your freedom and future!

Semnalele de alarma in relația abuziva!

  📌 Iată câteva întrebări esențiale pe care să ți le pui atunci când evaluezi relația ta: 1. Cum mă simt în această relație? Te simți adesea anxios, fricos, mergi mereu pe vârfuri în preajma partenerului tău? 2. Sunt dezacordurile tratate cu respect? Conflictele escaladează rapid în strigăte, manipulare sau jocuri de acuzare? Încearcă să îl testezi de la început, nu-ți fie teamă să îi analizezi comportamentul! 3.Mă simt valorizată și respectată? Sunt opinile, limitele și nevoile tale recunoscute și respectate de partener? Te simți inteligentă, capabilă în conversațiile cu el? Sau simți că e mai bine să nu îți exprimi cu adevărat opiniile pentru că ai crede că el nu ar fi în regulă? (dacă el nu este destul de matur, atunci e mai bine să te retragi! Nu ești mama lui!) 4. Există izolare față de prieteni și familie? Partenerul tău te descurajează sau te împiedică să fii cu părinții, prietenii sau să îți faci timp pentru hobby-urile tale?

Financial abuse in relationships

Let’s not be blind and have a look into the financial situation of a relationship. Financial abuse, less known but another form of domestic violence, is  a manipulation of finances and economic resources aimed at controlling the partner, leading to dependence and vulnerability. Here are key points to know about Financial Abuse: 1. Control over finances: An abuser might restrict access to bank accounts, withhold money, or demand an account of every penny spent, leaving the victim financially helpless.
