Isolation
One common form of emotional abuse is isolation. Here, your spouse will keep you from seeing your friends, family, and work colleagues. Or, alternatively, your spouse may coerce you into spending all of your time with them.
Verbal Abuse
Verbal abuse is a very common type of emotional abuse where your spouse says things to you to belittle you, insult you, and make you feel bad about yourself. They also may try to invalidate you and who you are.
The Blame Game
Another type of emotional abuse is the blame game. This is characterized by your spouse always blaming you for everything that goes wrong in your relationship.
The Control Game
Here, your spouse aims to control everything about you and your life together. He or she will try to control where you go, who you see, and make all of the decisions in the family regarding children, finances, and more.
