What is an “emotional attacker” in divorce?
An emotional attacker in a divorce is one who is trying to inflict emotional pain on the other person. An emotional attacker in a divorce would make nasty comments like, “you’re fat”, “you’ve never looked better”, designed to make them think they’ve looked terrible before. Or, “that dress doesn’t flatter your figure” or, “you’re a lousy mom”, the like. It’s so easy to do. You can resist being an emotional attacker by checking yourself and doing what’s necessary not to engage in those emotional barbs that so easily come out of our mouths.
