Relationships of all kinds have many different and complicated facets to them, however when abuse enters the picture, there is really only one option, to get out as soon as possible.
This article will help you understand the different forms of abuse and what you can do to take control of your situation and protect yourself from being abused in any way by the person you are with.
The first type of abuse we will discuss is perhaps the worst kind, and that is physical.
This kind of abuse, although it shows mostly on the outside in the form of bruises, cuts, and other injuries, is also emotional as well.
Physical abuse leads to emotional abuse and psychological trauma in many cases.
If you find that you are in a relationship with someone who is either physically abusing you or seems to be escalating to to this kind of abuse, you must get out of the relationship right away.
One of the most common problems of someone who is in an abuse relationship is the issue of having nowhere else to go or nobody else to turn to.
If you have no family or friends to stay with temporarily, then there are also emergency housing facilities that can take you in.
Although it is certainly not an ideal situation, it will get you out of the line of abuse from the person you are with and keep you safe.
Another kind is verbal abuse.
This type of abuse is also emotionally damaging because of the effect it can have on the victim.
Over a long enough period of time, consistent verbal abuse can cause many different psychological problems that will damage the person's ability to trust people and have healthy functional relationships in the future.
With this type of abuse, you will want to approach it the same way, to get out as soon as possible.
Verbal abuse often leads to physical abuse over time, so don't wait until it does.
