In the last couple of weeks I had been working in a research paper for my school. I am writing about how the artificial colors and additives in food can increase the hyperactivity in kids with ADHD. So looking around so many psychology websites in one of them I read something about how to determine if you are in an abusive relationship. The article gives you 10 signals that are a pattern in abusive relationship. I get out of my subject, and start reading the article. I found out the article very educative and accurate with the information provided. But was missing something, was missing ideas of how to get out of that relationship.
Incredible but very true, everybody women, men, child, and elderly can be part of an abusive relationship. People in this situation usually do not know what to do or who to call. I know what you are thinking that the solution to a situation like this one is very simple “just get out!” but it is not that simple, and get more complicate when there are children involved. In different occasion I have heard people even insulting the victim because stays in that situation, but the truth is that nobody knows; only the person that are involved in the situation understand or someone that have been through to a very, very, very similar situation themselves.
With this, I just want to say that if you are aware of an abusive relationship, do not underestimate the intelligence or the ability of a person that is in the situation like that one. Better, offer a shoulder to cry, a shelter to stay, a counselor to visit, or simply do not said anything, but careful with this last one, because can turn you in an accomplice because you know what is going on, and do nothing to help. An abusive relationship can be; husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, parents and child, friends, sisterhood, brotherhood, etc, etc, etc, any relationship can turn abusive.
I only left to say that if you are in an abusive relationship there is escape. You need to prepare yourself to break the cycle, and when you are ready (and you must work on that) I promise you that you will know the way out. Just be careful, and protect yourself all the times.
