Look for these changes
Hatwood says that major changes in social habits – like wanting to isolate – as well as changes in the way one dresses, or body language, are all important to look out for. “I spoke to my daughter about her boyfriend at the time. She changed,” Hatwood says of her own daughter who was in an abusive relationship. “She started to be somebody she wasn’t. The way she dressed changed. She wanted to gain weight. She always liked being slim before, but he said he didn’t like slim people. So she put on nearly 60 pounds. He did that so she wouldn’t be attractive to anyone else.”
