                   What Love Is... NOT
Possessive and controlling behavior.....that's NOT love.

Isolation and name calling ...... that's NOT love

Blaming you for everything they are unhappy or insecure about is NOT love.

Expecting you to rely ONLY on them for your emotional needs ....is NOT love. That is just another attempt to isolate you from everyone around you.

Verbal abuse is NOT love

Name calling is NOT love

Interrogation...is NOT love

Sleep deprivation....is NOT love. Sometimes an abuser will deprive you of sleep..just so you are not quick on your feet. It makes it much easier for them to control you.

Threats of bodily harm.....is NOT love

Breaking things.....and throwing fits of anger...is NOT love

To be phycially restrained while having differences of opinion...is NOT love.

Being belittled.....is NOT love

Love does not leave bruises or scars
Love does not make you feel pain
Love does not hurt
       Love Feels Good !!
