It is essential to understand that no one has the right to strike another person. The only exception to the rule is self-defense and that there is no other situation whereby violence is allowed!
Unfortunately, there is almost perceived as normal, the fact that in cases of abuse, the law has many flaws, but there are many institutions that fight and come up with solutions for women who are victims of violence.
It’s us, the psychotherapists who are here to assure you that:
- you need to understand that it is not your fault for that abuse and that you deserve more than that.
- The belief that everything is going to be okay and that eventually the abuser will be “cured” with patience and love is a trap set by the abuser. This belief is common in women who are abused either physically or mentally and is constant, but you should know that the abuser can only give up violent behaviour with specialized help.
- You must always have an escape plan, but especially the power to talk about what is happening to you.
- We strongly believe that the solution to getting out of an abusive relationship is specialized help, and if you agree that you need help, you can always call specialized institutions, therapists, or even the support of friends, which we really hope you still have with you, as usually, the first-stage abuser does anything to break you from the outside world and only then begins to abuse.
Here are institutions to which victims of violence can turn to, for help.
