Abusive Relationships And Looking For A Way Out

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 if 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.

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.
