ABUSE

Have you found yourself normalizing abuse? Do you see it as means of discipline or a way of life? Is abuse a form of correction to you? Do you even know you are being abused?

Waking up to the awareness of what abuse is can be the beginning of your liberation and switch in life.

Abuse is the improper usage or treatment of a thing, often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit. Abuse can come in many forms, such as: physical or verbal maltreatment, injury, assault, violation, rape, unjust practices, crimes, or other types of aggression.

You are an abuser:

Ø  If you deliberately treat him or her badly when you are alone with them but in a better light when you are in the midst of others.

Ø  When you deliberately deprive your loved ones of the things you know bring them pleasure.

Ø  When you choose the silent treatment as a form of deliberate punishment.  Now this can be dicey.  Some go silent when they are tired of communicating their mind because it has always been ignored or because it could lead to violence.  I’m emphasizing on those who deliberately watch their partners hurt from their silent treatment because it makes them feel powerful and they enjoy watching their partners drown in that pain.

There are different types of abuse:

Ø  Physical abuse

Ø  Emotional abuse

Ø  Mental abuse

Ø  Financial abuse (most people don’t know this)

Ø  Sexual abuse

Ø  Technological abuse

I’ll break them down in parts soon.

Before then; keep your heads up and ensure you are not contributing to abuse in any way 😉
