Key Takeaways
Trauma bonds are the emotional attachment formed between a person and their abuser which often makes the victim feel compelled to stay in the relationship.

Parents might meet their child’s physical needs but may not meet their emotional needs, causing long-term emotional damage - Natasha D’Arcangelo
When a relationship progress very quickly, it is likely a red flag – Lianne
The victim may think that the good days outweigh the bad ones, but it will get worse over time, and leaving can be difficult – Lianne
You can be in an abusive relationship even if you’re not being physically harmed. Natasha D’Arcangelo
Leaving an abusive relationship is the most dangerous time for the victim – Natasha D’Arcangelo
