In this blog I’m going to explain how you can get help if you’re a victim of relationship abuse. Many people do not know the precautions to take when they are being abused. I believe if we teach people that they do have other options there will be less people falling victim to abuse.
In the beginning when you realize that your partner is starting to become “abusive” you first need to talk to somebody. A good person to discuss this with would be someone who is older and that your close too. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a family member ,It can be a friend or if you don’t feel comfortable discussing this with a friend or family member there are several hotlines you can call. Hotlines are numbers you can call and talk to people about your situation, you can remain strictly anonymous if you wish. The hotline will give you advice and other options.
The next step would be if you feel safe enough, discuss with your partner about how you feel. If your partner is open to you and doesn’t “harm” you when you talk to them about it. After you get them to open up to you about the matter easily slide in the topic of going to some kind of counseling for couples. If your partner is hostile then obviously there is no working it out or fixing the relationship. Then you need to get out of wherever you are and go somewhere that you will be safe.
If you have no one to turn to or a safe environment to go to a perfect place to go is a shelter. There are tons of shelters all over the U.S.. These shelters take in millions of women but sadly only a few men. A shelter usually gives you clothes if you need them, they will feed you,and give you a place to stay.
Since overcrowding has been taking place in the shelters of North Carolina, The United Family Services are building a new place in Charlotte. It will offer up to 80 beds and have material for people who will be staying for long term. The new building will accommodate to several of the peoples needs such as transportation and emergency needs.
I hope this will be helpful to anybody who is battling with an abusive relationship and do not know how to get out of it.

Your post taught me a lot about domestic violence. It's good to know that there are hotlines available if needed.

^ Be sure to split up your sentences where they naturally end.
Thank you I'll make sure to go back and fix that.
DeleteI agree with Ashley about the run-on thing. I noticed that myself. Also, capitalize May and in the 3rd paragraph 2nd sentence, you have a fragment.
ReplyDeleteI like that you are working towards encouraging people involved in abusive relationships to get help. So many men and women refuse help in these serious situations.
Thank you I'll go back and fix that. I agree they're tons of people who refuse help! I hope my blog will teach the younger population that they have a choice.
