[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, not asking for details if it’s traumatic for you, but given the many responses stating emotional abuse is different for everyone, I’m curious how you’re defining it?[/quote]

Telling me I'm a damaged person, have a personality disorder, have a memory problem, telling me I can't be trusted, telling me I'm bad with money. Going into a rage for keeping my preschooler home, going into a rage when I rearranged the furniture, going into a rage when I spent more than what he considered a "reasonable" amount at the grocery store - I was only ever "allowed" to spend money at the grocery store. Talking over me, telling me to listen (but not listening), threatening to end conversations if I didn't "watch my tone/lower my voice" (typically when I'm using a normal speaking voice), telling ME I'm in a rage when I'm not, jumping up and down in a rage (like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum), questioning why I did something over and over and over again. Lying to me, lying about me, minimizing/denying his actions, refusing to settle an issue, refusing to take responsibility, blaming me whenever he behaved badly. Screaming at me, being totally non-responsive when I would start to cry, acting superior and like he has all the answers, just basically always acting like he's a-okay and I'm a freak of nature.
