Emotional abuse in romantic relationship statistics blind community(self.Blind)
submitted by Awaywithwords6
Hey I wanted to know if any of you have experienced emotional abuse at the hands of a partner because of your disability?

I’m sorry, but you need to be searching for peer reviewed studies through a library or database if you are writing a paper on this type of thing. Getting information from Reddit is not research. And if you’re trying to get individual data, you need to be conducting in person or on the phone interviews within your local community.

Oh, I am aware of how to go about this. And I will not be using reddit in any official research capacity or including reddit-based Info or experiences in my paper. I understand it’s nowhere close to a reliable source. It’s more of a personal project, not a paper, really. I didn’t explain myself very well. I just wanted to see if I was the only one because when I searched ‘dating violence visually impaired stats’ or whatever on google (Again, I also understand that this is not a reliable source, but rather an advertising company.) I came up with nothing, But it’s very easy to find stats for the able-bodied community and for people with intellectual disabilities. Thanks for the advice though, I may have to reword my post so that my intentions are more accurately stated.

Not at all. All of my partners have been truly remarkable women. <3

I can't speak for anyone else but I suffered emotional neglect and isolation in my last relationship. I stuck it out for ten years before I couldn't take it anymore. It's lonely being single sometimes but I still don't plan on being in another relationship after that.

I don't know if this is the case, but I would expect that, because finding partners when you have a disability is more difficult, people are perhaps more apt to ignore problamatic things because the pool of potential partners is smaller. If you do find anything for this study, I'd also be curious whether rates are different in relationships where both partners are blind vs cases where one partner is abled.
