[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am the DV survivor.

Emotional abuse I and other survivors have described include;

Limiting access to financial resources
Forcing us to pay expenses as a lower earner
Forbidding the consumption of certain foods
Requiring us to dress or look a certain way
Harassment about the cleanliness of the home (but does not clean)
When caught in a lie, blame the other person
Losing a job or major life change without notifying 
Controlling who you are allowed to associate with
Talking to those people badly behind your back[/quote]

I don't think I've ever seen it written out like that.  Gosh that's horrible.  I'm glad you have been able to get yourself out of that situation PP. [/quote]

I have gotten out, thank you PP. It took physical violence to wake me up and counseling to realize this list. Meeting other survivors made me realize our lists were almost exactly the same.[/quote]

I'm a child of DV. Add intimidation across the board to this list. A household culture of fear. Random anger. Unjustifiable physical punishment. Being forced to eat food that makes you gag.

To the OP - my parents divorce was a gift from heaven. Didn't save me from the scars, but saved me from what could have been worse.[/quote]
