Excerpt From “Relationship Impossible” – part 1

Abuse isn’t always obvious. Here are some red flags that everyone reading this should know and note:

Call you names and put you down Call or text you throughout the day to check on you Keep you from friends or family Control your $ Threaten to hurt you, himself/herself, your pet or loved one Hit, Kick, Push, Punch, Slap, Pinch, Choke or Bite you Destroy property or throw things Tell you who you can see or what job you can have Tell you how to dress Act overly jealous Withhold medication or health care Make you have sex or do sexual acts that you don’t want to do Threaten to “out” you if you are gay or lesbian Constantly criticize Embarrass you Blame you for everything – including the abusive behavior What usually happens after this happens the first time is that the victim makes statements like: “My partner isn’t violent all the time – they love me” “Things will get better – they didn’t mean it” “Maybe it’s my fault” “I’m scared of what will happen if I leave them” And the abuse continues. Remember, most relationships start off with each person acting their best and seeing the other with rose-colored glasses. It never starts off on an abusive note.-
