Camdriniaeth Perthynas a Pherthnasoedd nad sy’n Iach
Gall fod yn anodd adnabod nodweddion perthynas nad sy’n iach, yn enwedig yn eich perthynas chi eich hunain. Mae pawb yn haeddu cael eu caru a theimlo’n ddiogel o fewn perthynas.
Gall camdriniaeth o fewn perthynas fod yn fwy na bygwth neu drais corfforol. Os ydych yn sylwi ar batrwm o ymddygiad sy’n cynnwys rheolaeth, gorfodaeth, bygythiad, diraddio a thrais, gall hyn olygu eich bod mewn perthynas nad sy’n iach. Mae'n bosibl eich bod hefyd yn profi trais a chamdriniaeth.
Gall fod yn anodd adnabod nodweddion nad sy’n iach o fewn perthynas, yn enwedig yn eich perthynas chi eich hunain.
Dyma enghreifftiau o rhai o’r nodweddion hyn:
- mae eich partner yn eich rheoli neu’n feddiannol
- rydych chi'n cael eich sarhau neu'ch beirniadu
- rydych chi’n cael eich manipiwleiddio
- rydych chi'n cael eich brawychu
- rydych yn cael eich bygwth
- mae eich partner yn eich ynysu oddi wrth ffrindiau neu deulu neu'n cyfyngu ar bwy rydych chi'n eu gweld
- mae'ch partner yn rheoli'ch gwariant
- rydych chi'n dioddef trais corfforol neu rywiol
