If you are in an emotionally abusive relationship for a long time, you may loose your ‘inner compass’ and can become convinced that you are not worthy of love and respect.

Try to honestly answer this questions to yourself:

• Is your ultimate fear to be left alone, without no one to love you?
• Do you sacrifice your own wishes, just to please your partner?
• If your partner abuses you, do you become submissive?
• Do you do things that you do not like just to make your partner feel good?

If you are in a relationship wherein emotional abuse happens everyday, the effects are dangerous than any form of abuse because it can be frequent. Emotional abuse can be subtle, it makes you feel that you are the problem or it is your problem. It makes you doubt your self-worth and erodes your self-esteem.

Here are the negative effects of long-term emotional abuse:

• Low self-esteem
• Emotional Stress
• Health Problems
• Depression
• Isolation
• Alcohol or drug use

You may seem introverted, quiet, or may appear confident and extrovert, which is an act to fool the outside world so that you can hide the humiliation you are experiencing. You may have deliberately chosen not to seek help but decided to deal with it. But ongoing contact can drag you back in the abusive situation again and again.

You must try to do something if your partner is unwilling to seek help or knowledge.
The recovery process is long and painful. In the end, you may decide to hurt yourself, it may influence your mentality. Long-term emotional abuse may result to suicide. You would feel unlovable and unworthy.

Proper counseling will help stop this chain of suffering once and for all.

To your happiness,
