MYTH: Unless my partner physically hits me, I'm not in an abusive relationship.
FACT: Violence takes all forms. It can include emotional abuse is defined as manipulation of feelings using derogatory language, accusations, comments, or mind games to make the partner feel worthless, helpless, or afraid. Verbal abuse includes shouting, threatening, intimidating, or manipulating. Physical abuse includes pushing, shoving, hitting, kicking, punching, or threatening with a weapon. Sexual abuse includes mistreatment by means of sexual objectification, forced sexual acts, demands, insults, or physical attacks on intimate body parts. The journey to leave begins on the inside.
