Toke who is also an author said many women who remain in abusive marriages, are risking the future of their kids. She said staying in such marriages can affect the children psychologically, making them grow up to become abusive.

Sometimes the perpetrators don’t even know it. There’s a cycle of my parents raised me that way and I didn’t die therefore my kids won’t too

Emotional abuse is a vice that many individuals suffer, which leads to repression, inferiority complex, depression, as well as other psychological problems.

Unfortunately, many do not know they are being emotionally abused or abusive, particularly persons born into an emotionally abusive family.
