How can we convince society that leaving an abusive relationship isn’t always a better way to solve it? Sometimes spousal abuse is not only physical, but also mental, so getting out of it may not be easy. When you are in a relationship with someone, it can be perceived as good by your friends, when in reality it's not.

Ultimately, your life experience with abuse will and can make you stronger, as well as change your life. The history of dysfunctional relationships and how society sees women being abused has changed. Society thinks women leaving the relationship is the only way that it should be done. But what if their partner comes after them? What are these women suppose to do then? It’s not as easy as it sounds, and it will remain a constant issue in our society.

The effects of abuse in society and among women are crucial. I learned a lot from abusive relationships because I have been around family members and close relatives that were involved in one. It’s a scary feeling, knowing the one you love is being beat with no remorse. In relationships like this; you find yourself in a desperate predicament. It’s not easy to get away, especially when there are other things involved. Some abusive relationships involve children and other obstacles as well. So, if you are in an abusive relationship, you should talk to someone and get help.

Abuse should not happen regardless of the circumstances. It should not be a way for men or even women to feel in control. People tend to use abuse on their partners to ease the pain for themselves or any insecurity. We should find another way to get through the pain and what we managed to consume throughout childhood.

There shouldn’t be pain let out onto their partners because of what happened to them. Men that abuse their partners most likely saw their parents go through it and think that it’s right. But there are other ways to go about them kinds of circumstance. Abuse is not something simple or something you can just let go. It’s a serious matter. Those women that are in the same situation shouldn’t let themselves stay there for too long. We all should learn to never settle for less no matter what it may involve. Why the abuse?

With Love,

Stop the Abuse!
