I thank God for your enlightening and explanation...any type of abuse can cause a person trauma, anxiety and insecurity!!!

Love Bombing is always puzzling to me - because what happens if you are raised to be a caregiver, so therefore the caregiver may operate in most relationships by offering their help/giving gifts sincerely - I think there is needs to be a clear distinction here - as it could be clearly non-abusive and unintentional, based on their nervous system programming.

I think it's a good idea too, to talk about signs of abuse for men. I actually looked this up, and the results were discouraging. A lot of bad advice and victim blaming. While women make up many of the victims of intimate partner dv, there is very little for men who are victims, although it's the same things as what you've listed. But you did a nice job of explaining the signs. Thanks for this information.

These are obvious signs of abuse..i wish people would make more insightful videos about the subtle signs..things we all miss... men who grap your wrist when you try to walk away tend to be abusive..small clues like a wrist grab are indicators
