Things that are worth naming
Abuse is not only physical. If any of this is familiar, it is worth talking to someone:
- Being monitored, or having to account for where you are and who you’re with
- Having your money, documents, phone or transport controlled
- Being pushed away from friends and family
- Being told your memory of events is wrong, repeatedly
- Being blamed for their anger
- Feeling frightened of how they will react
