For the past several years I have been actively involved with a group in Columbus, Ne helping individuals have are vicitims to dating violence, rape, sexual assault etc. I thought I would share so important facts that should be know and applied to life:
First off, "How to help a friend in an abusive relationship?": 1) Be a support by letting your friend know he/she is not alone 2) Even if you are upset that your friend is never spending time with you-ending your friendship will only further isolate him/her and allow the abuser even more control. 3)Let /himher know /heshe doesn't deserve to be treated badly-abuse is NEVER his/her fault 4) Don't blame him/her for staying, but let him/her know they can always talk to you. 5) Help her obtain places that work with abused individuals...Center for Survivors-402-564-2155.
Secondly, The most common form of control in emotional abuse is jealousy. It can take the form of possessiveness or suspiciousness. The abuser may require their partner to always be available to him, not associate with family and friends, and often accuses partner of things he/she did not do.
Thirdly, man are also abuse..often woman take of the abusive role of #2..we simply hear of more women cases.
Lastly, you can find happiness in a good dating relationship- positive characteristics are: 1) Honesty and Responsiblity 2) Open Communication 3) Intimacy 4) Physical affection 5) Fairness and Negotiation 6) Shared Responsibility 7) Respect 8) Trust and Support
NEVER sell yourself short..everyone deserves to feel happy and SAFE!
