Abuse is NOT limited to physical harm.

Abuse includes:

• Chronic lies
• Chronic demands for absolute “obedience”
• Demands for silence in the face of harm or grief or fear – to name a few…
• Chronic boundary violation
• Chronic theft
• Gaslighting
• Chronic infidelity when fidelity has been the agreed-upon practice

Are there abuses you have sustained? Talk with emotionally safe, honorable friends and family – the beginning of healing is naming the abuse…
