Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
My mom and I don't get along at all. I don't think that she treats me very nicely. But how can I tell if I'm being abused or just overdramatic?
Does she criticize you
regularly?
Does she tell you that
what you're feeling is
somehow wrong?
Does she refer to you
in unflattering terms?
Does she try to tell you
how to do everything?
This is different from
suggesting how you
might do something.
Does she speak to you
in a tone of voice that
sounds like she's making
fun of you in some way?
Has someone told you
that you're being
"overdramatic?"
Who?
It's up to you, but this
is a safe place to give
some examples, which
helps us envision what's
happening to you.
Sending you hugs.
Take good care.
