ACTIONS TO PREVENT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence is just one of those things where individuals do not expect that they are going to have to face it until they find themselves in this unfortunate position.
Even in those cases, it can happen that at first glance abuse can not be identified as such. It does not always happen in a form of screaming and bruises
So, it is chill A nice way of saying, bad way. A bossy kind of action in the name of love. And of no life of heart is there.
Being in a relationship is confusing in such a way too. You commence to create self doubt on yourself
Is it too late then, and what can be done to prevent domestic violence even before they occur? The thing is that the solution is not that simple.
No checklist can assure the safety but there are reasonable things that one can take and attitude can lead to the minimization of the risk.
The most effective starting point is to be discussing you know of other people but also of yourself as well
In whiche way dost thou suppose to know how to feel when discomfort? wherefore, doth it cross? That is what the majority of us are indoctrinated out of experiencing or acknowledging or at least really dislike.
However, that emotion is frequently the first warning sign. You can identify the issue without waiting for things to get out of hand.
And then there's the communication issue. It may sound cliche, but having frank discussions at the beginning of a relationship can help establish boundaries and expectations.
It's a warning sign if someone avoids those conversations or makes you feel bad about having needs.
Respectful partners will not discount what makes you feel safe; rather, they will want to know what it is.
However, romantic relationships are not the only aspect of it. Friendships, family relationships, and even cohabitation can become poisonous.
Therefore, it's critical to learn how to say "no" without feeling guilty and to follow through on it. It's more difficult than it seems.
A friend once told me that, despite her obvious pain, she would keep quiet in order to "keep the peace." Years passed before she realised that her identity shouldn't be sacrificed for peace.
There is a second level to this which is community.
One of the greatest strategies of abusers is to leave a person in isolation.
The raising of the hand is lonelier the more.
That is why, take care of relations with mentors, siblings, and friends. It is little things that make everything.
Another bids thee make reference to thyself even in the instance of a matter that seems to be a very small thing.
Whether you feel that you require it then or not, that network becomes a form of a safety net.
It is also the matter of education.
This is particularly so with the younger generation.
All this can be fixed when you can figure out what the distinction between care and coercion, or love and control are.
They have to teach more about the warning signs not only schools, churches but also the media.
It was not about how to make something work but how healthy relationships really are.
And the final one is to trust your innards. You have got that voice in your head saying,
This is not good. Without its being inordinary nor noisy, nor without any morbid noise, touch it.
The thing one pays you in order to endure or to not talk.
Even though it is not always possible to avoid acts of domestic violence, you can guard yourself by becoming aware, strengthening relationships and not crossing your own lines.
They are not going to solve all the problems. Nevertheless, they may turn out to be decisive.
Don't stay in a toxic relationship and expect it to get better because the end will be disastrous. Nice one.
