Domestic Violence: Watch for Signs

No one can envision him or herself in an abusive relationship. Most people feel it can never happen to them. So when they see the signs they ignore them or make excuses. However domestic violence is too serious an issue not to pay attention to the signs.

One of the first signs that your partner may be abusive is if he or she wants to alienate you from your family and friends. An abusive partner wants to know that you have no one to turn to for help when the abuse starts and alienating you from the people you care about is the first step in achieving that go. Watch out for this sign!

Today’s Positive Quote

“You have this one life to live. Don’t spend it worrying about what could have been, who hurt you, and who wasn’t loyal. The power of happiness is in your hands. Yours is the choice to make.  Cast aside anything or anyone that takes away from your happiness. While you still have this life, be happy.”

Choose to be happy. You were not meant to live life unhappy!

Don’t let Fear Hold You Back

Don’t be imprisoned by your own fears, trapped in a world where you feel that you don’t have the strength to stand on your own two feet and make decisions for your life or charter a course for your happiness. Be proactive, be a doer and a go getter. Nothing is impossible. I hope you all had a happy International Women’s Day.

There is nothing you can’t do if you are determined!
