We all hear the stories and some of us have lived it. Falling prey to someones abuse, whether verbal or physical can be difficult. One can find themselves trapped and see no way out so they stay, and some find the courage to pick up and leave. Those that escaped however, are far from free. They forever look over their shoulder and fear they may run into their abuser. It isn't easy to totally break free, the scars remain and the nightmares continue.
Abusers instill fear, they belittle, threaten and beat their mate and later apologize and make excuses to why the abuse was warranted. No one deserves to live in fear of someone they once loved and trusted. Break free, if you do, and even more so if you have children. Think about their future and don't let them grow up thinking this behavior is normal.
If you are being abused, don't stick around. Nothing you do or say will change one who chooses to verbally or physically hurt you. Please seek help and do so as soon as you can. The following links are added to help you accomplish just that. You can do it...
