Unhealthy relationships
Unhealthy relationships
Unfortunately not all relationships are positive ones and it’s unhealthy for you to stay in a relationship where there’s abuse. Abuse comes in many forms from violent, threatening or controlling behaviour to disrespect, verbal abuse and emotional blackmail. It’s not a one-off event it’s a cycle and usually gets worse if nothing is done to stop it.
