Have You Lost Your Voice?

Recently I was talking to my mom and I mentioned something that made me realize a massive difference between my Abusive relationship and a not abusive but unhappy marriage: in one of them I lost my voice. 

In my marriage, I was able to have healthy conversations with my mom about my relationship. I could process things and she knew the status of my relationship. She was not surprised when I wanted to end it. 

With my abuser, I said very little. I had been trained to keep the abuse to myself and to only share surface information. My mom was shocked when I finally called her and told her what had really been going on. 

This can be a sign that you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship. If one is able to freely share their experiences and feels safe processing things with others, they may be ok. If all of a sudden they are only mentioning surface level things and only things making it seem like all is well, they may have lost their voice.
