Control is abuse. Love shouldn't hurt. Understand why the love you give out is returned with pain from emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse. When someone you're in a relationship with acts charming and loving one moment, then radically switches to critical, angry, and cruel; that's controlling behavior. Gain insight into every aspect of control and how it's affecting you. Understand why someone is controlling, and why you're not sure. Is everything "your fault," no matter what you say or do? Are necessities like food, money, and clothing controlled and withheld? Find out if the controller ever changes and what you can and can't do about it. This is your first step to freedom. There is hope.
