Healthy or Abusive Relationships
You might feel certain that you are in an abusive relationship. Maybe other people have just expressed concern for your relationship. It is also okay if you are not sure.
Abuse is much more than physical violence, any time a partner is using power and control there is an imbalance and reduced safety.
Partners who are abusive can :
- Threaten physical boundaries
- Confusion
