If at some point in your life you have experienced abuse, you are
not alone. Seek help and talk to someone you trust. In most cases,
the abuser is someone of close relation to you. This may be a
parent, significant other, or friend. Never be afraid to speak up
and let your voice be heard. Abusers want power and the ability to
control you at all times. If you find yourself in a situation
where you are walking on eggshells around them for fear of
angering them, or not participting in activities in which you
usually do, speak up. NEVER LET YOUR ABUSER SILENCE YOU!
