Introduction
Abuse can take many forms, and one of the most pervasive yet often overlooked types is emotional abuse. Unlike physical abuse, emotional and psychological harm can leave scars that are not visible, making it harder to identify and even harder to escape. Today, we bring you Maria’s story—a deeply personal account of her journey from enduring years of emotional abuse to reclaiming her independence and rebuilding her self-worth.
Maria’s story is not unique. Emotional abuse often goes unrecognized, as it can be subtle and deceptive. It’s not about being physically hurt, but rather about a partner chipping away at your confidence, isolating you from friends and family, and making you feel powerless. In this post, we’ll explore Maria’s powerful testimony, the warning signs she missed in the early years of her marriage, and the steps she took to finally break free. Watch the full video interview below and dive into the key lessons we can learn from Maria’s experience.
