Barriers In Toxic Relationships

 Relationship abuse doesnt always start with physical and sexual abuse. Most of the time the relationship goes smoothly and then things start appearing more and more. Once the abusers feels you are comfortable with them and that your not going to leave the abuse starts. Most commonly it is mental abuse including name calling and so on. After they realize that you havent left them yet and your putting up with the emotional abuse, their true colors start to come out. Never tell yourself never. If you feel you might be in an abusive relationship, you probably are. Many victims are always questioning themselves on whether or not their are in an abusive relationship or not. Love in any real and legit relationship has love, respect, and trust. It doesnt have overwhelming jealousy and controlling thoughts. For example if your partner gets mad that you have a best friend of the opposite sex that you talk to and were close with before they were even in your life and then they all of a sudden make you close them off. Once you see that your partner is all your life consists of, thats the last chance you have to get out. Many victims families say how their son/daughter changed who they were and wouldnt tell information on their relationship and said it was "personal". Even people who seem like their lives are perfect can get caught up in toxic relationships. Watch out, and stay away from them, and always remember if you ponder the thought of being in a poor relationship... your probably in one.
