Someone who has been emotionally abused will:
• Constantly apologize
• Hide their feelings in fear of upsetting you
• Break down during small disagreements
thinking it will explode
• Need a lot of reassurancePlease be patient, we are trying.
Or they may be
•irrationally defensive
•shut down in mid conversation when you thought everything was going well
•become aloof and distant
We all react differently and cope in our own way.
You never know what someone has been through, be patient with each other.
