Abuse is causing harm or distress to others.It can range from disrespect to causing pain,it can be physically,mentally and emotionally.Abuse can occur at any time and anywhere.An abuser could be anyone in our lives,it can be parents, spouse, teacher or colleagues and so on.
Most victims who has suffered from abusive relationships are messed up emotionally and mentally.They are scared of what people will say about then,how everyone around them would judge them.The church, society, families and friends.Most of these victims have no one to tell their problems and when they finally have the courage to speak up either the damage is done or it might be too late for them to tell their story.
Some of these victims from an abusive relationship don't say anything and tend to remain in the relationship because of pressure from either families, society or peers.They have portrayed a life in which everything is going great for them and they want to keep living such life and they remain in abusive homes. We should stop putting pressure on our children(Male or female). Allow them do things in their own pace, we should not expect too much from our spouse,children or anyone. We should learn to stop comparison. Everyone has their time to get to certain stage or level.
The church, society and family all have a job to do better. It is time for them to create an environment were these victims know it is okay for them to speak up, it is possible for them to leave that home that has damage them mentally and physically.It is time to tell these victims that what people say does not make them different but it is what they say about themselves. Help them build their self esteem, it allows them face life problems with confidence. It is time to fight for them, time to show them love.
Abuse can happen to anyone around us, it can be someone we know or someone we don't but whoever we know going through any form of abuse it is time to fight for them. Some of the victims now see it as part of their lives, they see it as something normal.which is so wrong, we can all do better.
Stop putting pressure on anyone around you, stop comparison, stop telling anyone it is okay to remain in an abusive relationship.
Thank you for reading.
