Abusive Relationships

I feel that abuse is when someone does something to hurt someone purposely, to make them have low self esteem about their self. Abuse doesn’t always mean being physical meaning to hit them and cause bodily harm to one another, or verbal abuse meaning to call a person names and hurt their feelings making them feel bad about their self.

An abusive relationship to me is when someone is controlling meaning they always have to be in control, they feel like they have to be the most dominate between the two. They say what to do and when to do it and they isolate you from friends, and family and want you for their self.

I think people stay in abusive relationships because they believe that their in love with that persons and they want to be with them. They feel that they care for that person and that they love them back and feel that they will change eventually and that they can work on things.

I really like in the beginning how you included verbal abuse. It truely is just as bad as hitting someone, maybe even worse.Use examples of this in in general, or your own life to make what your saying more credible. Also include more definition of what you mean about how people think love can save the relationship. Does this work? Explain more.

I hate abusive relationships. I believe that you can find someone that wont be abusive if you look for the right kind of person.
