Love is a beautiful thing. It can make us feel happy, fulfilled, and connected to others. But love can also be painful, especially when it ends. If you're in a relationship that's not working, or if you're worried about the safety of your partner, it's important to know how to protect yourself.

Warning Signs of an Abusive Relationship

There are many different types of abuse, but some of the most common warning signs include:

Physical abuse: This includes hitting, punching, kicking, or any other form of physical violence.
Emotional abuse: This includes name-calling, insults, threats, or any other form of verbal or emotional abuse.
Sexual abuse: This includes rape, sexual assault, or any other form of unwanted sexual contact.
Financial abuse: This includes controlling your partner's money, preventing them from getting a job, or any other form of financial abuse.
Isolation: This includes preventing your partner from seeing their friends or family, or any other form of isolation.

How to Get Help

If you're in an abusive relationship, there are many resources available to help you get out. You can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit their website at www.thehotline.org. You can also contact your local police department or women's shelter.
