Website- skim read- copy and paste

My task for this lesson was to search the internet for websites on my chosen area of abuse which is psychological abuse to women. I was told after i have found the website i would like to use, i was then given permission to copy and paste from the website.

This is a extract i copied and pasted from a website that supports women from all type of abuse. this was really useful because it informed me of what types of psychological abuse teir are and how the impact can really hurt women. I copied and pasted this extract. No author, 15/09/15, website:

Most domestic violence includes emotional abuse, which can include such tactics such as:

destructive criticism, name calling, sulking

pressure tactics

lying to you, or to your friends and family about you

persistently putting you down in front of other people

never listening or responding when you talk

isolating you from friends and family, monitoring your phone calls, emails, texts and letters

checking up on you, following you, not letting you go out alone.

The impact of emotional abuse may be even more devastating than physical assault - and have much longer term effects - yet most of the above behaviours are not crimes, and it's therefore much more difficult to obtain protection, or even to get others to take them seriously.
