I was physically abused by my father and physically and mentally abused by siblings as a child. As an adult, my first love was physically abusive and since then I've been in 6 abusive relationships. The last one nearly cost me my life. It has taken the combination of therapy, group support, and reading to finally educate me in understanding and ways to stop the cycle/pattern. I hope more education continues in our schools to change this statistic. We NEED. to make this a priority as it seems Domestic violence is on the rise. Awareness is key.
