Welcome to Love and Abuse, the show about navigating the difficult relationship,

from simple disagreements to emotionally abusive behaviors.

You deserve respecting kindness.

All the information on this show is meant for educational purposes only.

Always seek a professional for your mental health and well-being, and always pick your battles wisely.

I'm your host, Paul Koliani.

Thanks for joining me for another episode of love and abuse.

If this is your first time listening, I'm sorry that you have to tune into this show,

but I'm glad you found it because I'm here to help.

I'm here to give you the best information I can to help you through whatever you're going through in your relationship. Sometimes it's just difficulties.

Sometimes it's emotionally abusive behavior. Sometimes it's worse than that.

But what we talk about here is the type of behaviors where someone feels selfish or entitled to do them,

regardless of how you feel about it.

So they might do something or say something that makes you feel bad or guilty or responsible

for the problems in the relationship.

And they feel like they're right.

So they continue being that way and making you feel like somebody that they don't care about.

At least it feels that way.

And what's interesting is the emotionally abusive people that I converse with almost on a daily

basis because I have a program for them is that they say they really do love the people

they're hurting.

They don't use those words.
