If your score indicated that you may be the victim of emotional abuse, then we strongly recommend you take steps to address the problem.  If you allow this to continue, you will feel anxious and are likely to become depressed, and the longer it continues the more difficult it is to escape and heal.

It's also possible that the emotional abuse will escalate into physical abuse and domestic violence.  If that is already present, you really need to get help from trusted authorities - see Refuge helpline.   Safety comes first - for yourself and family members.
