EspañolSupport resources and info on emotional abuse
Emotional and verbal abuse is just as common as physical abuse and can have similarly traumatic effects. Here is some information on emotional abuse from our website if you want to read more.
In terms of resources available, you might want to contact a local domestic violence organization. They have no doubt come across similar situations before and can help you think through it and develop a plan about where to go from here. Most workers at domestic violence organizations realize that mental, emotional, and economic abuse can be just as devastating as physical violence, so they can be good people to talk to when you just need support. Sometimes they can refer you to lawyers or help you through the legal process themselves if you need legal help to leave or end the relationship. To find a domestic violence organization in your state, go to our Local Programs page. [HYPERLINK TO STATE SPECIFIC PAGE]
