Stopping someone from self harm is not abuse.
Stopping someone from leaving, is.
These things are not equivalent, but the fact that you seem to think they are, shows you have problems.
It's ok in every situation you mentioned except threatening to leave.
It is justified if someone's life or physical integrity is at risk.
If you are threatening self harm then no, it's not. You're not in your right mind and a paramedic would do no less if they came across you in a similar state
I knew you were getting worse.
Not cool. Be careful and seek help.
If the goal was to prevent you from doing any harm to yourself or another, then no, that doesn't qualify as abuse.
I believe it's okay if the person being restrained was either going to harm themselves or their partner.
If you are threatening to leave: could be considered unlawful restraint or even kidnapping.
You indicated that you were going to hurt yourself: that would be justified.
No. I've personally have had to hold more people then I've thought i ever would, due to emotional breakdowns, and panic attacks. Im not harming them im trying to help/protect them.
I don't know tho if u 2 love each other for yourself and then you have a great thing to be looking at. Tho if they just possessive and self centered they don't have any idea of how you feel
Honestly depends on the situation. They can’t stop you from leaving, but attempting to stop you from hurting yourself isn’t a bad thing if it’s done safely
Yes that is physical and emotional abuse.
Its fine as she is trying to calm me down and she would have to force her herself to stop me
No, as long as it was preventive and didn’t turn into any kind of assault
Yea and no depends on the situation
No. Preventing harm not causing it.
They arrested me for that
I don’t so.
*think* so...
Lol
Suicide is technically a crime, right?
I wouldn’t consider it abuse no.
