Domestic abuse begins early in the relationship and continues to grow. Sometimes it happens so easily that one cannot even recognize it.  Sometimes it does not seems like abuse so we stay thinking it is not so bad, and that is when we become complacent about this.  

Anyone in this situation needs to stop and ask themselves if they really deserve this. Would you allow your best friend to talk to you in a mean tone? Would you allow your best friend to get away with smacking you around?  Had my best friend treated me as my husband treated me, she would not have been a best friend. I would have dropped her quickly. Yet I allowed a man to treat me badly for way too long because I thought that was not that bad.

I was so wrong I did not deserve it. If you are in danger, call a woman’s shelter. They are there to help men and women who are beaten by partners who profess to love them. This is not love, not by a long shot.
