Healing and Rediscovering
I've been spending quite a bit of time talking about emotional abuse and its effects on the victim. The reason being physical abuse is treated more seriously than emotional abuse. However, one may argue that the lasting effects of emotional abuse are more severe. Emotional abuse is not a few words that are said maliciously, the narcissist behaves in a way of a crafty genius. Emotional abuse is designed to destroy the person slowly and intimately from the inside out. It will break a person down bit by bit till there is nothing left.
Psychological torment causes you to question everything about yourself. Your self-esteem and identity is destroyed and your worth is questioned. Eventually, you are left with nothing but a shell of yourself. I cannot begin to describe to you the journey that I've had to go through to build myself back up and relearn who I am again. As I mentioned before, my turning point was when I read Isaiah 62 from the Bible. That light bulb that switched on in my heart and my mind, provided me with the foundation to rediscover my value.
I'm reaching out to the people who may be going through emotional abuse. It can be so well hidden behind the smiles of a narcissist who knows how to control and manipulate people. A narcissist is literally one person in public (sweetness and light), but at home behaves like the devil.
In public, the narcissist seems to be the perfect spouse. It is extremely difficult to convince somebody that, that is not the case. I am raising awareness because this dangerous form of abuse usually goes undetected.
I have met so many women who have endured many decades of abuse and have stayed in the marriage for the sake of their children. Now that the children are grown and have moved out of the house and are living their own lives, what happens to the spouse who has gone through that abuse?
The children have grown up with the memories of this emotional abuse and believe it or not they will need to have some sort of therapy to undo what they have seen and heard. The spouse will now have to go through a journey of healing and rediscovering the person God made them to be. This is the reason why I am making my film. It is not right that only physical abuse is taken seriously. All abuse should be eradicated from relationships.
