Why I Couldn’t Tell the Difference Between Love and Abuse
About this episode
The author, Suzanna Quintana, reflects on her experience with narcissistic abuse in a personal essay titled "Why I Couldn’t Tell the Difference Between Love and Abuse." She explains how her childhood experiences normalized abusive behavior, making it difficult for her to recognize the signs of abuse in her own relationships. Quintana argues that, because she was never taught about emotional abuse, she mistakenly believed that only physical violence constituted abuse. Her essay sheds light on the insidious nature of emotional abuse and encourages readers to recognize the different ways it manifests.
