Spousal Abuse

A spouse can love-bomb, apologize, provide, and still be unsafe.

Spousal abuse can be physical, emotional, sexual, financial, digital, or coercive. The pattern matters, especially when fear and control keep repeating.

Patterns

Spousal abuse often cycles through harm, apology, and control.

They scare you, then say you made them do it.
They isolate you from friends, family, work, or outside support.
They control money, transportation, devices, or documents.
They make leaving, disagreeing, or telling the truth feel dangerous.

jRNL Prompt

Write the pattern, not just the apology

Incident:What happened before the apology?

After:What changed for a while, and what came back?

Risk:What feels unsafe to say, do, or ask for?

If you are in immediate danger, prioritize local emergency services or trusted support before using any app.
