Recognizing the signs of an abusive relationship (Get to understand Abusive relationships., #1)

A relationship is considered abusive when one party negatively exercises power and control over the other. This might be financial, verbal, emotional, physical, or any other kind of behavior that maintains one person in the grip of another. More precisely, believing that you deserve your partner's abuse and supporting your partner's abusive actions are examples of abusive relationships. It's critical to keep in mind that you do not deserve to be mistreated and that it is not your fault if you find yourself in an abusive relationship.

I have personal experience in abuse and got out of the situation but not without help. I have always wanted to help people in abusive relationships and hope my Abuse series will do just that. Never forget that everyone has a right to a respectful and well-functioning relationship. It's acceptable to ask for assistance, because the victim is never at fault. There is hope for a better future and the possibility of change. Remain resilient and have faith in yourself. You underestimate your own power.
