If He's So Great, Why Do I Feel So Bad?
The beginning of a relationship with an abuser is often wonderful. Of course it is, otherwise you would get out immediately. Forceful, threatening, and degrading behavior is often disguised and delivered in a humorous way, a seemingly reasonable tone, or in concerned "loving" words. Most often the recipient remains largely unaware of the bigger dynamic, completely confused as to why they feel so poorly. Over time, the abuser gains more power and control in the relationship, meanwhile the victim becomes a shell of their former selves, often developing some form of depression and anxiety, sometimes turning to unhealthy outlets to soothe the pain.
Don't be fooled by the term "subtle" and think that it implies something that is not that bad. It's the less overt, subtle tactics that cause us to question ourselves, our reality, and our worth, keeping us more dependent on our abuser and making it less likely we will leave. It's psychological bullying day in and day out from a person who knows you intimately.
Too many people remain unaware and vulnerable to mistreatment in a relationship, and it’s critical to start getting answers to these important questions; What are the not so obvious early warning signs of an unhealthy relationship? What is acceptable treatment, and what isn’t? Where do you draw that line? How do you recover and/or develop your confidence in your relationships? What does a healthy relationship even look like?
