Emotional abuse follows a predictable cycle, from love bombing to devaluation and discard. Understanding this cycle is crucial in breaking free from its toxic hold and reclaiming your sense of self-worth and dignity. Love Bombing: This phase begins with excessive affection, attention, and promises of love and security. It's like being showered with gifts and compliments, creating an illusion of a perfect relationship. Devaluation: As the relationship progresses, the abuser starts to devalue and belittle the victim. They may criticize, insult, or demean them, slowly eroding their self-esteem and confidence. It's like a gradual erosion of self-worth, leaving the victim feeling worthless and inadequate. Discard: Eventually, the abuser discards the victim, often without warning or explanation. This phase can be devastating, as the victim is left confused, hurt, and abandoned. It's like being cast aside like a used toy, disposable and insignificant in the eyes of the abuser. But here's the thing: you don't have to be a victim of this cycle. You have the power to break free and reclaim your life, one step at a time.
