Valerie Bevilacqua
I’m a Toronto-based founder, author, writer and vlogger who loves to talk about anything pertinent to entertainment, relationships, lifestyle and personal development. Interviews are my speciality, so I’m welcoming collaborations! You can read my work on Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, Thought Catalog, Medium, etc. Or pick up my two books “Chocolate Covered Syllables” and “Vanilla Letters” online off Chapters Indigo! Both of my books have been available on their shelves for the last three years - if not on shelves, catch me at a book signing! Find my work/connect with me: www.clippings.me/valbevi!
Focusing on emotional abuse and the hallmarks of it: lying, gaslighting, manipulation, bullying, control, threatening, blaming, deflecting, “joking”, etc.
Touching on the subjective, ambiguous “grey areas” of what’s deemed disrespectful or disloyal in a relationship or almost-relationship; including deceptiveness, hanging out with friends of the desired sex, online communication on social media, and emotional cheating.
According to a recent study, statistics show that 3/4s - or in this case, 74% - of Ontarians feel that they are struggling with more mental health and addiction issues with heightened effects or severity due to this pandemic.
