Abusive Relationships

What is an abusive relationship like? Many poeple do not recognize when they are in one. Your friends will though. If you think that your friend is being abused, it is good to know by looking for signs. These signs are or can be bruises, cuts, frequent days missed, acting skidish, withdrawn from others, sad all the time, depressed to name a few. If a friend is doing or showing these signs, it is important to get them help. These signs could be the result of physical abuse. Still, there are many forms of abuse. Mental and Emotional abuse! Both of these types really happen a lot. Guys or girls can do it. Most of the time they will just put you down to build themselves up. Supprisingly, it actually works with a lot of people. When you are a victim in an abusive relationship, it may be extremely hard to pull yourself out of it. Most people can not do it. Most people will struggle or get so depressed by it, that they take their own life or completely pull away from every loved one. They feel they can not do anything about it. It's very sad. I myself, have been in an abusive relationship. Not a physical one, but a mental and emotional one. It was bad, he controlled everything about me. He had my mind on complete lock down. I am so glad the relationship ended, however the pain and confusion has been left behind. I find myself finding it hard to trust people, friends, family, guys....it is really hard to bounce out of something like that. The next time that you see someone that needs help getting out of an abusive relationship, physical or mental, please help them.
