There are 3 sides to every story. There is the his side, her side and then the truth. Her side and his side both live somewhere in the vast wasteland of that gray area of truth. Truth should be black or white, but it is based on a perception of that persons reality.

Abuse - Abuse is defined as any thing that is harmful, injurious, or offensive. Abuse also includes excessive and wrongful misuse of anything. There are several major types of abuse: physical and sexual abuse of a child or an adult, substance abuse, elderly abuse, and emotional abuse.

The reality of abuse is twisted by the events that lead to the abuse.

If I pose the question-
Do you ever think that you would be in a abusive relationship?
100% of the people would answer the question with a resounding NO.

The next question would be-
Have you ever been in a abusive relationship?
At least 40% of the women that I know have answered yes to the question.

How did we get from a 0% to a 40% number.

No one asked to be abused yet it happens.
Once it happens it should stop, yet it continues.
The person getting abused should walk away yet they stay.

To dissect emotions, feelings and behaviors of the abused we must ask hard questions.

Did you witness abuse between your mother and father?
Did you experience physical abuse from a relative growing up?
Where you sexually abused growing up?
Where you ever raped?
Was one of your parents a alcoholic?
Where you emotionally abused growing up?

All of these factors and many more lead to the mentality of the abused and also to the abuser in a relationship.

Abuse is wrong. A man should never hit a woman and a woman should never hit a man. No one should be made to feel as if they are less of a person.
Communication is key.
The abused should get up and walk away. You have nothing to lose by walking away. You have everything to gain!!!!!!

If you need motivation look at your children and ask yourself,
Do I want someone to treat them the way I am being treated?
There are enough ways out……….. but taking the first step is the hardest.

It started with one person opening up and loving and caring for the other, it ended with the locks being changed on the door.
It started with a child saying I love you both, when are we going to be a family.
It started with 2 hits to the chest and it ended a year and eight months later with someone in jail.
It started with “baby I love you” and ended with you deserve to go to jail.
