We've been married for twelve years and we both finally admit that our relationship has become emotionally abusive - not just him to me, but the way we tear each other down when we fight.

More people experience this than they realize.
Sometimes abuse isn't a clear perpetrator and victim but a toxic system both people have learned to sustain.
