2. Emotional abuse is when the abuser continually manipulates and controls his/her partner through words or threats. The abuser may "remake" his/her partner, suggesting that she think, dress or act in a different way. He/she may also use humiliation as a form of control--frequently putting down his/her partner, calling his/her partner cruel names, making comments about weight or blaming his/her partner for their own irrational behavior. Intimidation is also another form of emotional abuse.
