One of the best ways to identify a covert abuser is to see how they react when you let them know that they hurt your feelings. While a normal person will likely apologize and attempt to make things right, a covert abuser will double down, take advantage of your vulnerability and maybe even spin the situation around so that you are the one to blame. This reaction reveals a telltale sign of an abuser: lack of self-reflection, empathy and accountability.

TikTok accidentally banned us! 😭💔 If you have a contact at TikTok, please let us know. We believe our account was banned in error, as we've never received a violation notice before, and we've respected the guidelines. We love and miss the community we've built there through the past couple years by sharing resources, information and support for DV survivors. We'll keep trying to reach out to TikTok in an effort to restore the account, and would be very grateful for any help. In the meantime, we're still here for you!
