abuse course

[grandmacath]

can anyone give me some answers to this question i have got some but would like to know if i am right ? give 3 possible warning signs to look for when someone is suspected of being emotionally or phychologically abused thanks

this happened to my friend but the only signs i think, looking back after i found out was a change in appearance and very low self esteem and confidence. she went from being vibrant and fashion concious to being self concious and shabby. she also started to talk down about herself a lot.

Withdrawal
Lack of confidence
Low self-esteem
Low in mood / depression
Fear of being in the company of the perpetrator

Another one for pschological abuse could be people who show a happy side all the time and tend to be apologetic when shouted at. I know I am like that and everybody says how happy I am in situations which would make them angry, when actually I am frightened of confrontation and accusations and try to diffuse with laughter or humour owing to my childhood experiences.

thank you for your answers they are very helpfull ,Dollie you have the same answers that i had so i was thinking on the right track thanks again

I was badly abused physically and emotionally as a child and it made me angry with everything, unwilling to formulate normal relationships or be friendly and withdrawn. I would say my anger management was pretty much nil at one point in my life, but then I also have a brain injury which may have contributed to that.
