Abuse can come in many forms including physical, emotional, and sexual. It also does not just happen between two people in a romantic relationship. It can also happen between friends or family members. What is abuse?
Examples of Domestic Abuse When I mention abuse what’s the first name that comes to your mind? Is it a friend? Family member? It could even be a celebrity. There are countless records of stars telling their stories and it’s because of these people that others have the confidence to get help and know they are not alone. If you’re in your 20s and a fan of pop music I’m sure one individual comes to mind: Rhianna. Her relationship with Chris Brown is an example, according to The Washington Post why “domestic violence is everyone’s business.” A couple of weeks after the 2009 Grammys, photos surfaced of Rhianna’s face, injured from an assault by her boyfriend at the time, Brown. This brought to light the issues of domestic violence. Where can I get help? There are countless agencies that you can call no matter what crisis you are in. Whether you are suicidal, facing an unexpected pregnancy, or have been assaulted, these hotlines are available to assist you 24/7. They provide emotional support and can redirect you to services in your area. Don’t forget that your doctor or pediatrician is also there for you. Photo-credit to their respective artists.
