Love is not supposed to hurt. The ways of violence have been passed down from generation to generation with no end in sight. Victims often experience being lost with intense distress and suffering from abuse which causes a feeling of fear, shame and guilt. Oftentimes feeling trapped, hopeless, devastated, betrayed, frightened or being killed due to abuse. Know the warning signs for someone you know who is facing an abusive relationship and how victims can break the cycle.
It can be really worrying when someone you care about, is being hurt or abused by their partner. This book will help in recognizing and supporting female and male victims of abuse. Many people worry that they will be "interfering" if they get involved, or that it is a "private matter." It is equally worrying if someone is being abused and you say nothing. Your support can make a difference. You might risk some embarrassment if you approach the victim and they reject your support or tells you your suspicions are wrong.
But if you approach the victim sensitively, without being critical, most people will appreciate an expression of concern for their well-being, even if they are not ready to talk about their situation. It is unlikely you will make things "worse" by expressing concern. It is my goal in life under God's direction to educate people, make safer communities, a safe environment and healthy relationships as God intended.
