Support the Work
Free to read.
Funded to reach.
Every person who reads this site pays nothing. And every dollar donated helps make sure the next person finds it.
Survivors of emotional abuse are often financially controlled, isolated, or in situations where paying for help isn't possible. This site exists to make sure that doesn't matter. Education should always be free.
But free only works if people can find it. Alongside this website, we run awareness campaigns on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook — content designed to reach people who don't yet have language for what they're experiencing and aren't searching for help yet. Those posts get boosted so they travel further than our organic reach alone.
It's Still Abuse Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We don't run ads on the site. We don't sell data. We don't charge for anything. We're funded entirely by people who found this content helpful and wanted to make sure the next person could too.

What Your Gift Does
Every dollar keeps this free
and gets it in front of more people.
Keeps the site running for a month and boosts a social post so it reaches people who aren't searching for help yet — people who recognize themselves in a caption before they know the word for it.
Funds research and fact-checking for a new article, or covers a paid boost that puts existing content in front of thousands of people on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook. Both matter.
Supports awareness campaigns that reach survivors before they hit a crisis point. The comment sections on boosted posts are full of people saying they finally have a name for what happened to them. That's the work.
Why Reach Matters As Much As Access
"So many sites talk about the abuse. Yours talks to the abused in a direct way that was very appreciated."
Emotional abuse is different from other crises in one important way: the people who most need this information are often the least able to access paid resources. Financial control is present in the vast majority of domestic violence cases. Many survivors don't have independent access to money, credit cards, or even a private browser session. Free access is not optional. It's the whole point.
But many survivors aren't searching for help yet. They don't know what they're experiencing has a name. They haven't typed "is this emotional abuse" into Google. They're scrolling. That's where awareness campaigns come in. A post that reaches someone on TikTok or Instagram before they're in crisis — before things escalate, before isolation is complete — can start something. Those posts perform well because they speak directly to a real experience. Our engagement rates are consistently above average because what we make is genuinely useful to the people who see it.
Your donation keeps the site free. It also funds the work of getting it in front of people who don't yet know they need it. Both matter. Sometimes the second one matters more.
Your content gave me some peace of mind and helped me remember that I am not crazy.
