Emotional Abuse by a Partner

Dear Delyara, It may be hard to believe, but I am a victim of emotional abuse. At home, I play the role of a strong man, but inside I am shattered. My partner constantly belittles me—telling me I’m useless, that I’m incapable. Her words cut deeper than any wound. I can’t talk to anyone about it. I’m afraid of being seen as weak or ridiculed. This letter is the first time I am telling the truth—hoping it might lighten this burden.
