Emotional Abuse!
Bimbo is a 23 year old single mother who suffers from chronic anxiety and low self-confidence, and if you ask her, she'll tell you
“This isn't how my life was supposed to turn out!!”
You see, she grew up in a very abusive home, and her parents hardly disciplined her physically but they were known to use their words sharply
When her mother was mad at her, she called her names like “useless” “worthless” “silly” “dumb”.
At first she just felt hurt by her mother's words, but soon enough, she began to lose her confidence and self-esteem... her mother's words slowly began to shape her life.
What is Emotional Abuse?
This can be referred to as non-physical behaviors that are meant to frighten, control or isolate you...
It's really sad to know that emotional abuse isn't always regarded or classified as abuse to most people.
Even the abused doesn't see it as a problem until it sinks deep and effects every aspect of their lives.
Emotional Abuse is real and packs as much of a punch as physical abuse.
Most mental and health challenges can be traced back to emotional problems.
Words they say are powerful and your words have the capacity to build or destroy, even the bible says “how forcible are the right words”
People get emotionally abused in many ways; some come from harsh words, disappointment, heart break, bad memories and even physical assault! all resulting in emotional damage.
How to avoid and overcome emotional abuse?
watch out for part 2...
