I frequently hear women say, “I was glad when he hit me, because then I knew what I was dealing with.” Many of these women report that the verbal, mental and emotional abuse that preceed physical abuse is confusing to them.

My belief is you can know what you are dealing with LONG before you get hit.

I have studied and published on the subtle communication patterns of wife abuse, husband abuse, child abuse and battering relationshhips in general. These patterns are clear and distinct. Once you see the underlying dynamics from which they emerge, you too will identify them should they present in your own relationship/s or in the relationship of a loved one.

To learn more about what these subtle communication patterns look like from the outside looking in or what they feel like from the inside out, see the Intimate Partner Abuse Screen and you will teach yourself how to end the hurt, recognize emotional abuse.

Identification…Vision…Proper Assessment is, and will always be, the first step to recovery!
