They take from you, leave you broke and broken, and even threaten your sanity. And, they can do it all without you consciously knowing they are doing it. Who they are and how they work, as well as what contributing factors make it easier for them to hurt you are necessary life skills if you want to live a life independent of emotional abuse.
