There are So Many Examples of Cycle Of Abuse that is Involved in Domestic Violence. Often I come across different  versions and explanations. I do my best to save them and will repost and reuse them. As a Domestic Survivor Myself, it’s sometimes kind of complicated how I can explain certian aspects to someone who asks about what I personally had gone through.

Helping a Friend Who’s in an Abusive Relationship

Is Someone You Know Being Abused or is Someone You Love Hurting You?:

If you are experiencing domestic violence it can be very hard to know what to do, where to go, who to turn to. We understand and want you to know that we value you as a person, and want to help you and your children to be able to live in safety, without fear. We also know that it is difficult to decide when to do something about your situation. Only you know when the time is right. We are here to help you by providing information and contacts to people and agencies that can help when you decide to take action.

Here are a few ways you can help a friend that is being abused:

Listen to their story and believe them.

Hold what you are told in confidence.

Encourage your friend to think about safety. Help your friend make concrete plans that deal with the most likely “what ifs.”

Reach out to a domestic violence program.

[glenandbrisketpowellsdogpack]

Someone you care about is likely experiencing #DomesticViolence, whether you can see it or not. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience severe physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime.
