Abusive relationships are not just violent relationships, but every relationship that involves some kind of abuse - be it physical, emotional or psychological. You do not have to wait for a black eye to realize that it is time to end this suffering.
Many women spend years in abusive relationships, believing an hour will pass, but in fact their partner's behavior always stays the same. One day he curses her, the next he says she is good for nothing and so on, destroying the self-esteem of someone who probably no longer has very good self-esteem.
Over time, some women get used to this situation and do not realize that being used to abuse can lead to serious psychological problems. So even if abuse is “verbal only”, it is important to keep an eye on and not allow room for abusive attitudes to recur.
Once the woman or man has realized that she is in an abusive relationship, she / he should seek help from others to get support and get out of it and get back up. This person can start sharing events with friends or family, or look for a psychologist and if necessary a police officer.
In such cases, it is important to remember that you should not face this situation entirely on your own. Depending on the type of abuse, it can be dangerous to try to solve the problem without help from others.
3 out of 5 women are victims of abusive relationships. And often these abusive relationships end in femicide and other types of violence, so it is important to always be on the lookout and move away from violent, manipulative and controlling people.
