Remember that emotional abuse is frequently subtle while assessing your own relationship. As a result, it might be difficult to identify. If you're having difficulty determining whether or not your relationship is abusive, consider how your interactions with your spouse, friend, or family member make you feel. Recognizing that an emotionally abusive relationship exists is the first step in dealing with it. If you were able to detect any form of emotional abuse in your relationship, you must first accept it. You may regain control of your life by being honest about what you are going through.
