Do abusers like to see their victims cry?

Answer 1

While abusers may not like to see their victims cry, their abuse may escalate as the abused person becomes more and more vulnerable, demeaned, afraid, and upset. If the abuser's behavior doesn't stop or even pause when the recipient begins crying or asks for time to cool down, this is emotional abuse.

If you or someone you know is being physically or emotionally abused, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−7233 or TTY 1−800−787−3224. You can also go to http://www.thehotline.org/.
