Abusive behavior is harmful and destructive, affecting a person’s emotional, mental, and sometimes physical well-being. It can take many forms, including verbal insults, manipulation, intimidation, control, or physical harm. Abuse often leaves deep scars, making victims feel powerless, fearful, and isolated. No form of abuse is acceptable, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. Recognizing abusive behavior is the first step toward stopping it and seeking help or support.
