How to Know the Difference Between a Rough Patch & Straight-Up Abuse

How to Know the Difference Between a Rough Patch & Straight-Up Abuse

How many times have you heard someone--maybe on TV--say, "Oh, we're just going through a rough patch."


Really? Is it? Or, is it abuse? It's SO important to know the difference, and that's what today's episode sets out to make very clear: the difference.


Here's how Dictionary.com defines abuse:


  1. to use wrongly or improperly
  2. misuse
  3. abuse one's authority
  4. treat in a harmful, injurious, or offensive way
  5. to speak insultingly, harshly, and unjustly to or about
  6. malign
  7. to commit sexual assault upon
  8. harshly or coarsely insulting language
  9. bad or improper treatment


OK...big difference from a supposed "rough patch," right?


There's no getting away from it. When someone treats you in a degrading, mean, discounting, or dismissive way, it's abuse!


If you don't have strong boundaries that you express and maintain, you'll turn yourself into a pretzel, and end up being a doormat. You don't want that for a moment longer, right? That's why you need to see this clearly right now, whether it is happening to you or to someone you care about.


HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:

  • Why you mustn't dismiss "bad behavior"
  • Clear outlines of what emotional abuse and verbal abuse are
  • Why it is essential to express and maintain boundaries in outing abuse
  • Why you must never allow someone to diminish your sense of identity, dignity, or self-worth
  • Examples of what #Hijackal abusers do that you need to recognize for what it is.
  • #Hijackals, finances, and financial abuse
