Enough is Enough
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The theme for 2023 is Every1KnowsSome1. People in our lives may be in a domestic situation and we might not be aware of it. The situation is not evident, but DV happens more often than we think.
I would like to highlight a very serious and sensitive topic. Domestic violence, also called intimate partner violence. If you or someone you know is in an abusive situation, please consider getting help! Do not suffer in silence.
Know the signs
- If you are being put down or called names and insulted
- Partner tries to stop or discourage you from seeing friends and/or relatives. Doesn’t want you to go to work or school
- Shows physical violence by hurting you, your children or pets in the home
- Partner is possessive and always makes accusations of you being unfaithful
- Apologizes for their bad behavior and says it won’t happen again
- Tries to control what you wear and where you go
