Abusive Relationships And Looking For A Way Out
By Janine Jensenoris
Abusive relationships can be due to physical, emotional
or mental abuse. You may be able to see the effects
of physical violence from the marks on the body, but
emotional or mental abuse is more difficult to detect.
If you see someone crying, stressed out, they may be
a victim of some form of abuse. The first step is to
refer that person to professional counseling, to get
professional advice to confirm there is an abusive relationship
and then work on a solution to end the stress on the
relationship or how to end the relationship altogether
without incurring further harm.
Young Women In Abusive Relationships
One thing that makes me sad is the number of young
women who find themselves in abusive relationships over
and over again. It seems that there is something within
these women that makes them think that this is the best
that they can get, even if they aren’t consciously having
that thought.
I have seen some get out of one bad relationship only
to jump into one that is even worse. This makes me even
more determined to teach my daughter to respect herself
and to expect nothing less from everyone else in her
life.

Different Types Of Abuse
Abusive relationships aren’t always obvious. Though
after while a woman who is beaten by a man will show
some signs of it, there are other types of abuse.
You cannot deny that there are many who are in abusive
relationships that go much deeper. You cannot discount
the power of words and emotions. Sometimes these are
even worse than being hit.
Mental And Emotional Abuse
When someone is abusing someone mentally and emotionally
it might not be something evident to anyone else. This
is much easier to hide.
No matter what is going on, abusive relationships take
their toll. Women with low self worth are left feeling
totally worthless, and they feel that they deserve that
they are getting.
Those who are strong don’t understand this, and there
is a good reason for this. You don’t know what it is
like to be in abusive relationships until you are in
one. There are many things that lead up to a woman being
pulled into a relationship like this, and it is often
an accumulation of life events that only they can understand.
Building Self Esteem
If you are worried that your daughter may end up in
abusive relationships there are a few things that you
can do. You have to start early in life to build their
self esteem. There are no limits on the what your words
will mean to your daughter as she grows.
It is never to late to start either. Make sure you
teach her that that only person she has to answer to
is herself, and she deserves nothing less than true
love and respect from a partner. Though you may not
be able to completely shield her from abusive relationships,
your word and your influence can go a long way.
You may sometimes feel that your words or what you
do are bouncing right off of her unheard, but I can
assure you that you have the biggest influence in her
thinking and how she sees herself. Don’t let her down.
Seeing Abuse In Others Can Be Confronting
Seeing signs of any type of abuse can be confronting.
When I was in college, I attended a party and there
was a girl all covered in bruises. I have never seen
anything like this before. I was shocked. You could
see marks all over her arms, her legs, her face. It
was awful. She was so brave to attend a party with bruises
everywhere.
I asked her what happened and she said her partner
keeps beating her up. I put her in touch with the college
counselor to get some advice about how to get out of
this abusive relationship.
It was the least I could do for my fellow student.
