Day 8- Domestic Violence Awareness month
The Truth Never Lies!
An abuser may think his secrets are safe with him. The truth is…
A recorder
A voice ---- His voice
We listen to hours of….
Yelling.
Screaming obscenities.
Ranting.
Name calling.
Swearing.
Belittling.
Intimidation.
Threats of suicide and harming others.
Blaming.
Guilt trips.
Manipulation.
Twisting the truth.
Breaking objects.
The Evidence is clear.
Uncomfortable?
You should be.
Someone else knows.
THE. TRUTH. NEVER. LIES!
These are some signs of Domestic Abuse and Violence. It is NEVER OK to talk or behave in an abusive and violent way. NOT EVER!
Here are some questions we can all ask ourselves. How do we talk to our spouse, to our children, to those we love? How can we stop Domestic Violence if we can’t talk kindly to each other and treat each other with respect!
This is a call to everyone, everywhere… to turn back to CIVILITY! Be kind and show respect to one another… starting at HOME! Home is the place that should shelter us from the storms of life, where parents and children should feel love, respect, and security. Together, our commitment to use kind words and actions can help prevent Domestic Abuse and Violence!
For those interested, there is an exceptional article written on abuse, by President Gordon B. Hinkley (1910-2008), The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You can link to it here.
