4 Signs It is EMOTIONAL ABUSE, not Tough Love

Just got out of an abusive relationship myself. Barely made it out. I urge everyone going through it to seek help immediately.

"It may seem harsh to u but im just trying to help u grow"

After being verbally abused by the narcissist; I complained, Dad(the narcissist) said "Tough shit" How cruel!

Dad(narcissist) told me "tough shit" when I complained to him about his verbal (predominant) abuse of me. He's sadistic!

i’m a police explorer
i knew their was gunna be yelling and disapline but i also knew their was gunna be fun included nope the opposite in fact

every week we get threatened with suspension or expulsion if we don’t know a code of can’t do an exercise
they embarrass us and yell abt personal stuff infront of everyone
they bring us down
their such hippocrates they tell us one thing and when we do it it’s suddenly the end of the world
we miss a meeting we get in trouble we forget something super small we get in trouble
our uniform is slightly off we get in trouble
i’ve been their 1 year and i’ve never heard an encouraging word come out of their mouth instead i hear threats insults and disregard for our feelings and physical problems
and they call it tough love bc they don’t have kids if their own and they want us to be like a family
i cry the nights before meetings and i have panic attacks putting on the uniform and going to the station i cry their and they say my anxiety isn’t their problem it’s mine when their the trigger for my anxiety
it how feels like a need instead of a want to go their

4/5......

This....I needed this, after watching this I felt like a burden was removed from my heart. My ex emotionally abused me in all the way you showed...wether they are aware or not of being manipulative, it's still bad and toxic.

Violating people's privacy via cellphone is mental and emotional abuse. Nothing good comes from abusing others in any kind of way. Going through people's things without their permission is abuse because people know when their things have been rambled through. Emotional blackmail is when people use fear tactics, stonewalling, humiliation, blatant control, blame, lies and other degrading things on Facebook or other social media IT IS ABUSE. WHY HAVE PEOPLE COME INTO MY LIFE TO DO THIS ON PURPOSE???? IT SHOWS NO EMPATHY BUT IT SHOWS HATRED, JEALOUSY, AND EVIL!!!

If a person is experiencing emotional self-harm, a mental health professional can provide support and may recommend therapy, medication, or both.

I thought this was normal especially for parents

Abby Lee Miller should watch this video. This is literally her.

There is no possibility of this happening to me. I learned, long ago, just how cruel people can be and call it love. In order to avoid this, I just opted out of finding a girlfriend, and friends. If I disallow anybody to love me. The cruelty that inevitably comes with love can never happen to me.

In my country this is how all parents are.

I think tough love is tricky to navigate, and I believe it's commonly misunderstood.

naphia is so good at animatingg ♡♡

About 3 years ago, i found your videos and realized that the relationship that i was in at the time was abusive. I was verbally and mentally attacked almost everyday of 4 years and i was at at point where i was considering ending my life because it was a living hell, i couldn’t talk to anybody and felt like i had no way out other than to end my life. But with validations i got from your videos made me feel understood and i worked up a courage to leave that relationship. Educating yourself is so important and thank you for these videos

is it bad i went "LOL literally my mom"

Amazing advice!

This is me hands down. Glad my victim sent me this so I can find new tactics

My mom in detail.😢

my mom 😦

This is validating I should NEVER have kids, if I continue to act the same way as I have previously

I had to take year and half more to complete my degree as I had to take year off because i became extremely depressed. I have done my studies now. few weeks back it was my sister-in-law birthday she turned 32 this year. I asked her how different she is from her 22 year old self, I'm 22. she said she was wild and carefree. but now she has kid and job obligations. But my cousin her husband said that as I haven't completed anything on time. I'll be miserable in future when I'll have my own kid. i don't know if its tough love or emotional abuse or joke. all i know it hurts to listen these type of things.

My uncle is like that but maybe. He used to say ‘dame nephew (me) your hella slow’ in a rude way. Because I take slow showers, I always try everything I can too go faster, but he never impressed. He used too Bang the bathroom door like a gorilla, when I was in it. He even mocked my voice and never say sorry. What crazy is that he doesn’t like when someone (like me) mocks him. He’s even rude and a jerk too me sometimes. And the one time I’ll never forget that one day, I wanted too take out a barcode from a box of my device because I’m a cautious person who doesn’t want to be tracked by someone, and he was mad and said ‘look if they’re going too get you then they’re going too get you’ from that day I don’t recognize him anymore. I couldn’t believe he would say that too me like that, and in time he always said he deeply loved me, but all the things he did too me. Make me feel like he doesn’t give a dame about me. I want some expert too tell me. Is my uncle a somewhat narcissist?

I'm too skinny eat more go eat more I just thought it was tough love but now I have major insercerty shame yeppp I feel unlovable and was in a toxic relationship for one year I just thought it was tough love

what should i do as a minor? it started when i came out as trans to my mother 3 years ago, i have no profetional help bc i got no money and no one neaby, all i do is staying distand from everyone and everything... my mother is extremely unsupportive and won't let me get profetional help...

9. Your videos has helped me alot. Thank you.🙏🏻

Yes. I do relate. I firmly believe that my mom put me through emotional and mental abuse. The comments she would make about my body (I’m very fluffy), my ex, the fact of hanging out with my now fiancé literally all night in the parking lot at work. He and I would just talk, listen to music, cuddle, be open. Even made a comment once about a tracking app. I actually said it’s none of her business i believe, been a while. Acting like my sister was better because she let the tracking happen. I did it for the post office in case my vehicle broke down or i got locked out. Now, I live in an apartment with my fiancé. It’s been a very bumpy road, but it’s mostly my doing by not understanding

love the funniness

When I once asked someone to apologize for something abusive she had said to me, she dismissed it as my attempt at "emotional blackmail." I decided then and there to have no further contact with her.

The way my mom does every single one of these. 💀

Please educate the DV "support" agencies. First advocate I reached out to said "it's just words". Have been "reaching out" since 2009. There is no help for this abuse.

I am a toxic sister and didn't know tank you sm psyc2go

I am not going to lie to you. But as i grew up i realized that it's better to sterilize people at this point.

Thank you THANK YOU T H A M K YO U

Almost everything in this video I've been experiencing I've been wondering if I actually am being abused or if I'm just being dramatic I hope when I'm older I'm financially able to distance myself to create freedom but for now I just have to wait for that moment and hope

I just didn’t understand it, I can’t ever get my points across, or have my own opinion.
It doesn’t feel like my words are my own, I just don’t know what to say anymore.

About 3 have been relatable. That I have now realized

I suffer from this, I need help

I just got out of an emotional and physically abusive relationship. It’s so hard. Thank god I’m starting therapy soon.

This video was definitely made for me ! My family always called it tough love but it was always emotional abuse. I prioritized my Mental and Emotional health and walked away from all the abuse.

"Tough love"👀😢💔💯, huh, that's an interesting TOPIC for all of You My dear friend's from Psych2go at least I think that it is !!!🥰💜💯

Anyone have any advice for what to do when you see a loved one in this situation?

Well I cried through out this whole video, sorry it's just that I really wish there was a narrative out there, about parents thinking they've found tough love parents they can be friends, but spoiler alert the tough love parents get arrested for abusing their kids,
