First Date Signs of Abuse That You Never Thought To Look For
He Badmouths Your Friends
You complained about what your BFF did earlier that day and he says she sounds like a real B-I-T… He could just have poor people skills, but it could also be a prequel to a pattern of verbal abuse.
Isolating you from you friends and family is a way that abusers leave you dependent so it’s much harder to leave when things get rough. If he never has anything good to say about your friends and family, he’s the one you should be cutting off.
