signs of emotional/verbal abuse?? TW

Asking for myself because I feel like I’m sweeping so much under the rug or just laughing it off when it truly hurts. So what are the signs?

Gaslighting, its when you're questioning your reality. So for example; if your partner has upset you. Then you speak to your partner about being upset & its turned on you & you're the one who's always apologising. That was just one example but please do look it up. Verbal - This could be put downs & name calling Financial - your partner has complete control over you're finances. You may get a little bit of 'pocket money' to go to the shop. This is a really good website to help you recognise the signs; https://www.womensaid.org.uk/information-support/what-is-domestic-abuse/recognising-domestic-abuse/ Refuge is another good charity if you're in the UK; https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk If you're in the US; https://www.thehotline.org I hope that you are safe & that you are okay. If you need support please don't hesitate to talk to someone.

keeps calling me a whore infront of our child. Because a guy sent an unsolicited picture to my Snapchat. BF saw it and non-stop has been calling me a hoe/whore. But BF has been talking to his exes on snapchat asking them for nudes.... and Even when i politely asked for him to stop talking me like that infront of my child he said he didnt “give a fuck because he can do what he wants”

financially wise: he was mad i had a job and he was home with kid. So i quit my job. Now he tells me “I’m the reason you eat, i work my ass off to put food in your stomach” I started my hunger strike today because I am tired of eating from his pockets and it gets thrown back at me. But When I was the breadwinner, and If i complained like that I was called a “selfish bitch for letting his mom and sisters starve”

Does he keep you away from friends and family? Being isolated by your SO can be a sign of abuse too. I'm sorry you're experiencing this.
