Are you, living in a relationship characterized by anxiety, fear and confusion?
Is your spouse unpredictable?
Does he seem to attract or create chaos?
Do you find yourself trying “extra hard” to earn his affection and approval?
If there are issues or problems, does he make it seem as though they are always your fault?
Do you have difficulty communicating or find yourself rehearsing what you want to say so that you are not misunderstood, and because you hope to avoid his anger?
You are not alone. It may be that you are living in an abusive relationship – and just because he’s not hitting you does not mean you are not being abused.
The abuse will not simply end. You have to be willing to take action to protect yourself and your family.
If it feels as though the world revolves around the abuser, one of the things you need to grasp is that, in his mind, it does.
Love should make you feel safe and cherished, not fearful and inadequate.
If you agree, perhaps it’s time you rediscovered your value and reclaimed your life.
Remember: An abuser will do anything to keep you, but nothing to take care of you.
