This can happen to anyone, especially over a period of time. You can be left with the feeling you can no longer make decisions, feel guilty over things you do not need to feel guilty about. A deep lack of confidence and shame can be an effect of emotional abuse with suicidal thoughts and feelings.

Emotional abuse is a pattern of behaviour used by one person to gain and maintain power and control over another. Unlike physical abuse, it leaves no visible scars, but its impact on a person's mental health, self-esteem, and sense of reality can be deeply damaging and long-lasting.
Common Signs of Emotional Abuse
Constant Criticism & Belittling: Insults, name-calling, mocking, or undermining your intelligence, appearance, or abilities, often disguised as "jokes."
Gaslighting: Denying your reality, making you doubt your memory, perception, or sanity (e.g., "That never happened," or "You're imagining things").
Isolation: Trying to cut you off from friends, family, or other support networks so you become entirely dependent on the abuser.
Control & Monitoring: Demanding to know where you are at all times, checking your phone or emails, or controlling your finances and decisions.
Blame & Shifting Responsibility: Making you feel responsible for their moods, actions, or abusive behaviour (e.g., "Look what you made me do").
The Silent Treatment or Withholding: Punishing you by ignoring you, withholding affection, or refusing to communicate until you comply.
Understanding the Impact
Being subjected to emotional abuse over time can cause someone to lose confidence in their own judgment, feel constantly anxious or "walk on eggshells," and internalise the abuser's criticisms.
Remember: Emotional abuse is never your fault, and you do not have to navigate it alone. Support is available.
