About US

The End Emotional Abuse Network has been a project years in the making. I’m a childhood survivor of emotional abuse and I understand the struggle to convey one’s own experience to others. Emotional abuse is one of the more difficult types of abuse to identify as it doesn’t have the same kind of public, disruptive nature other forms of abuse have. It leaves no visible marks or broken glass. It’s subtle. But just because something is subtle doesn’t mean it’s not very, very real.

I began my advocacy for emotional abuse victims several years ago, where I discovered that there are no large groups that focus solely on emotional abuse awareness. Several national organizations touch on it, as it often exists within other abusive relationships, making it even more difficult to identify. However, emotional abuse can occur entirely on its own, as I experienced it. There was a gap; a need for advocacy both for the awareness of and for the end of emotional abuse. After extensive research, lots of questions, and some incredible support, the End Emotional Abuse Network was born.

This platform is intended to be a safe place where stories can be shared, victims can have their experiences validated, and as a starting place for those interested in what emotional abuse is, and the impact it has. This is only the first small step, but together we can end emotional abuse for all.
