Basic Rights in a Relationship
Adapted from Patricia Evans, 1992, The Verbally Abusive Relationship

  • - The right to emotional support.

  • - The right to be heard by the other and to be responded to with courtesy.

  • - The right to have your own point of view, even if it differs from your partner’s.

  • - The right to have your feelings and experiences acknowledged as real.

  • - The right to live free from accusation and blame.

  • - The right to live free from criticism and judgment.

  • - The right to live free from emotional and physical threat.

  • - The right to live free from angry outbursts and rage.

  • - The right to be respectfully asked, rather than ordered.
