It's almost the end of October domestic Violence Awareness month and I couldn't let it pass without speaking on the subject. I am a survivor. As I feel it important to talk about physical abuse ,the other forms of abuse are equally as important because they have damaging affects and aren't as easy to detect. Beware of these signs in all relationships. 1) They use what they know of you ,or lies to distort and control how others see you. 2) They try to use what they do for you ,or can do for you as a way to control you. 3) They will feel entitled to unreasonable amounts of your time and attention . As if you should be on-call to their every emotional need. 4)They take financial control and make getting what you need challenging. 5) They try to demean you by putting you down. They also are good for trying to make you feel you can do nothing without them. 6) They don't take responsibility for what they say or do but instead they turn it around on you as if it's your fault. 7) This goes back to #1 but it's important. They use gossip and slander to spread lies in order to control your circle of support. These are just few signs of control and manipulation. Never fear leaving relationships because of how you will be perceived . Continue being who God has called you to be and He will eventually align you with the right relationships. #DomesticViolence #Controlandmanipulation #KnowtyeSigns #GetOUT #askforhelp mentalabuseisstillabuse #SignsofaNarcisist #KhalilahJohnson.com https://www.instagram.com/p/B4KfrOZJOrY/?igshid=vo6cr9aa84v4
