Hi there.
My SO (wants divorce, has taken kids, no communication) I believe is using emotional abuse as her crux for leaving.
I have been reading about BPD, validation, enabling, invalidation and the 101 other things this site has to try and learn and try and save. Last night I came to a point where my brain spit out the following statement... .
"Rather than emotional abuse, it's not having developed the skills yet to fulfil your emotional needs"
I think it works for many different reasons.
I was wondering on your thoughts, and how you might improve it!
Many thanks
