Do you know the signs of emotional abuse in relationships from a spouse or romantic partner?
If not, you need to take an emotional abuse test or review the emotional abuse checklist below to see if you may be in this destructive type of relationship.
Nothing is more damaging to your confidence and self-esteem than being in an emotionally abusive relationship.
Unlike physical abuse, which rears its ugly head in dramatic outbursts, emotional abuse in a relationship can be more insidious and elusive.
In some cases, neither the emotional abuser nor the victim is fully aware that the abuse is happening.
The commonly assumed scenario for emotional abuse in an intimate relationship is one in which the man is an emotional abuser and the woman is the victim.
However, a variety of studies show that men and women abuse each other at equal rates.
In fact, mental abuse signs can be evident in any relationship — between parent and child, in friendships, with relatives, and at work.
