As we continue our month long discussion on relationship violence during Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, we continue to take a look at some more common myths about relationship violence. Relationships are complicated, but there are certain red flags that we should all be on the look out for that lets us know when we find ourselves in a relationship that is unhealthy for us.
IF He/She Hurts Me I Retaliate so I’m Not Being Abused. We’re Just Fighting: NOT TRUE
Domestic violence is when someone hurts you physically, verbally, mentally, financially, or sexually.You should never have to defend yourself against someone you love or someone who claims to love you.
He/She is Giving Me A Good Life. I’d be a Fool to Give it Up: NOT TRUE
No life full of pain and fear is a good one, no matter how it may appear to others. You should never have to get used to being abused. You should never suffer in silence over material items when there are places like the Jenesse Center that has everything you need to start a new life.
