Abusive Relationships

Domestic abuse and violence can happen to anyone and is a problem that is often overlooked. Although women are more likely to be the ones abused, domestic violence does not discriminate. It can happen among heterosexual or same-sex partnerships within all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and economic levels.  An abuser can use anything from fear, guilt, intimidation, or even physical violence to keep you under their control. They might even threaten to hurt those close to you. The emotional consequences from abusive relationships can be severe, destroying your sense of self-worth or even leading to depression and causing you to struggle with future relationships in your life. The bottom line is abuse is never alright, whether it’s coming from a man or a woman.
