When we think of “abuse” what usually comes to mind is physical abuse. Most people (that aren’t abusers and even some that are) acknowledge that “hitting, punching, kicking, pulling hair, twisting limbs, pinching, slapping, biting,” etc. ” can be damaging.
But there are other types of abuse that can be just as devastating in a different way., Some of them are: “emotional abuse, economic abuse, isolation, sexual abuse, threats, intimidation, humiliation, violence to pets or property, the silent treatment, using children to manipulate, irrational blaming, spiritual abuse, using a type of macho male privilege, using power and control, and stalking,” to name a few.

(NIGERIA) Thanks for this site, maybe I will get responses that will heal me. First, I married someone I courted for years but during the courtship I noticed some kinds of abuse, both physical and emotional, but felt it was because we were not married. Right now after marriage and having 3 kids, the same thing persists.
My husband loved single mothers, divorcees, and separated. In fact, if you give me an opportunity I will forward mails he sent to at least 10 ladies confirming his love, missing e.t.c. Right now I can’t feel like a woman that is married, I feel bad, and angry.
Sometimes he will apologise, but he will still do it again. The worst is that he claims to be born again. He is into pornography. The abuse is so much. In fact I had to confront one of the ladies, a divorcee from Russia, about 50 yrs old and my husband is 41yrs.
My heart is breaking. I hate divorce but right now I am so, so, so confused. I long to be loved. Yes, there are men around who want my friendship, but not for my beliefs. I wouldn’t want the devil to rejoice over me so I have decided to stay away from contamination. Can somebody help me please?
