What is Abuse?
Abuse is a harmful pattern of behaviour where a person is hurt physically, emotionally, verbally or psychologically by someone else. It can affect your thoughts, emotions, confidence and overall well-being. It is more than just occasional conflict or disagreement. When abuse continues over time, it can deeply impact your sense of safety, self-worth and daily life.
In Kerala, people may describe it as “prashnam at home,” “toxic relationship,” or “mental torture,” but it is a serious and recognised issue, not something to ignore or tolerate. Abuse can happen in relationships, families, workplaces or social settings. The good news is that with the right support and therapy, healing, recovery and rebuilding a sense of safety is possible.
