What You Need To Know About Abusive Relationships

By James Daniels


It seems that there are many abusive relationships these days. Violence seems to be tolerated as a way of life. This is wrong, and need to be addressed. If you find yourself in an abusive relationship, take time out to examine just what you are getting from such a situation. You will find that it isn't very much.

The severity of such a relationship will vary from couple to couple, and you will need to know all the facts before making a decision.Let's look at some of the warning signals of this kind of partnership.

These are things that cannot be ignored. People from abusive families will continue the abuse into all their relationships.They may be subject to wild and angry outbursts, and these can never be ignored.

If you are constantly feeling anxious and worried about what you say or do because it might cause an argument, you need to check into this. Most couples have arguments from time to time, but when it escalates to this point, you have trouble on your hands.You should never feel frightened in a loving relationship.

Has your partner been in bad relationships before? That should be a red flag for you. There are two people in a relationship,and if one always has trouble,that is not a good sign.Be aware of his/her past behavior,and notice the unhealthy or destructive traits he/she exhibits.You do not want to be with a person who is showing such destructive attitudes and behavior.

Often people on the outside will recognize an abusive relationship long before the participants will.They will see the signs and wonder why the people stay in such a terrible situation. Often the man or woman in the relationship will not want to recognize or will be unable to recognize the warning signs.They stay because of fear...fear of retribution should they leave, and fear of being alone.They may even fear for their lives.

Lack of self-confidence or self-worth often stops people from leaving an abusive situation.A controlling partner can do irreparable harm to your self-esteem, leaving you feeling worthless and unwanted.You may be kept from family and friend,and not allowed to do anything that the abuser doesn't approve. And they do not approve much. The other person is left with the idea that "I can't live without him" and so they stay.

If you are in an abusive relationship and believe that you can never extricate yourself, you are wrong.There are ways to treat this problem, and one of the best ways is therapy. This will help you to regain your worth as a human being..
