Where to Find Help

Picture
Abusive relationships are based on the power and control the abuser has over the victim.  In the early stages of an abusive relationship, the abuse may not yet be seriously violent.  Instead, the abusive partner may exercise power and control through other types of abuse such as possessive behavior, insults, jealous accusations, yelling humiliation, and low-level violence like pushing or pulling hair.  Remember that all abuse is a choice.  There is no excuse for violence or abuse of any kind.
