Not to mention some truly toxic people hide their vicious nature until after the relationship/marriage has been ongoing for some time. Especially if children are in the picture as finances can become a trigger for such emotionally stunted individuals. And unacceptable behaviors typically tend to start slowly and then episodically escalate over time. Controlling personality types will frequently start to gradually begin isolating their mate from friends and family until they have few, if any, resources to escape safely.

Escaping domestic violence and abuse isn't easy, but you deserve to live free of fear. Here’s how to find help, protect yourself, and safely leave an abusive relationship.

If you’re in an abusive relationship

Why don’t they just leave? It’s the question many people ask when they learn that someone is suffering battery and abuse. But if you are in an abusive relationship, you know that it’s not that simple. Ending a significant relationship is never easy. It’s even harder when you’ve been isolated from your family and friends, psychologically beaten down, financially controlled, and physically threatened.

If you’re trying to decide whether to stay or leave, you may be feeling confused, uncertain, frightened, and torn. Maybe you’re still hoping that your situation will change or you’re afraid of how your partner will react if they discover that you’re trying to leave.

One moment, you may desperately want to get away, and the next, you may want to hang on to the relationship. Maybe you even blame yourself for the abuse or feel weak and embarrassed because you’ve stuck around in spite of it. Don’t be trapped by confusion, guilt, or self-blame. The only thing that matters is your safety.

If you are being abused, remember:

🔷️ You are not to blame for being battered or mistreated.

🔷️ You are not the cause of your partner’s abusive behavior.

🔷️ You deserve to be treated with respect.

🔷️ You deserve a safe and happy life.

🔷️ Your children deserve a safe and happy life.

🔷️ You are not alone. There are people waiting to help.

If you need immediate assistance, call your country's emergency services number (911 in the U.S.)

I don't generally like to reblog posts with the comments disabled, but as a victim of domestic abuse, myself, I feel this is too important a topic to ignore. Also @fuckdumblr has provided alot of helpful links that need to be spread around.

As a Canadian, I'm going to add my own link for victims.
