Red Flags of Domestic Violence

If you’ve ever gone through an abusive relationship, you would know that it never starts with controlling and dominating behaviours. By the end of March 2019, approximately 2.4 million adults experienced domestic abuse. It’s difficult to answer the question, “what went wrong?” especially when it started as a dream. 

But the reality is that abusers hide behind a mask of charm and wit. Here are different red flags of domestic violence and abuse to help you identify a no-go relationship.

Unrealistic Expectations

A person who loves you genuinely and wholeheartedly is bound to understand that you have a life that goes beyond the realm of this relationship.

In comparison, an abuser might expect you to spend all your time with them. Or if you manage to go something without them, they might expect you to keep them constantly informed of your whereabouts.

Mind Games

You might not realize when your partner starts making you feel guilty for something completely ordinary. Abusers are used to playing mind games to make the victim question their own acts and not those of their partner.

They might humiliate or disrespect you, your goals, family, or friends. But you might not realize it as they love playing the victim card when you do something that they don’t “approve of.”

Excessive Control

An abuser might control who you meet, where you go, or what you wear. You can identify the person as an abuser if they’re incredibly jealous and possessive of you, enough to control your every move.

If you feel like you’re walking on eggshells just to maintain a harmonious relationship and you’re always worried about them losing their temper, you should seek professional help.
