How to Spot an Abusive Relationship?
There are various warnings or signs of abusive relationship. Getting out of an abusive relationship may be regarded as putting yourself in a sticky situation. Prevention is
the best cure. If you spot even one of the following signs in your relationship you need to stand up for yourself immediately. Do not make excuses for your partner’s behavior and never try to defend them by saying that it was just this one time. Remember, you can always cut down a tree, but not feeding it when it was just a seedling is an easier option to get rid of it.
Abuse in a relationship may be physical or mental. Signs of abusive relationship in case of physical violence are prominent and clear in the form of body scars or burns. If your partner has ever hit you in a fit of rage you are a victim of physical abuse. It is not important whether you were hit just once or multiple times. What matters is that you were physically assaulted. Even as much as a threat to hit you, scar you or burn you should not be tolerated. Trying to scare you by driving dangerously fast or hitting walls is also considered as an abuse. An abuser may try to manipulate and intimidate you by threatening to end his life or hurt you and/or your children. One must never succumb to such scourges and learn to face the abuser with fortitude.
