When a relationship turns abusive, it is one of the most devastating experiences. Shame, embarrassment, and self-blame often keep victims from seeking help. Abuse, also known as domestic violence, when in a household and/or intimate partner violence when within a couple, can come in varying forms; physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, and financial. Regardless of the type, domestic violence can have life or death consequences for the victim as well as for the children in the home. To help unpack this topic, I brought on licensed professional counselor, Natalia Garcia-Moreno. Natalia worked in a domestic violence shelter for women and children, helping them to restore peace after violence in the home.

Key Takeaways

Abuse can happen to anyone. You are not alone and there is help for you.
Learning to identify red flags in relationships can save you from getting caught up in the cycle of abuse. Getting out of an abusive situation is possible. Your past does not have to define your future.
