The Butterfly Pendant Click on the butterfly to purchase and see other beautiful items available to support the cause against domestic violence. ~Buy a bracelet to help speak out against domestic violence~ Many people think that they can help their abuser, or that he/she will change if given enough love and understanding. Without the desire to change, and the assistance of anger management classes and/or counseling, these people are NOT going to change; no amount of love is going to make it happen. Domestic violence brings a new meaning to the vow "Til Death Do Us Part". Please don't let it happen to you!

I'd like to meet:THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCETension Building Stage: Tension begins to increase and controlling gets worse; incidents get progressively worse. Explosion stage: Physical violence: hitting, shoving, slapping, choking, etc. Threatening with or using weapons. Loving Stage: Batterer becomes loving and acts remorseful; sending flowers, taking you out. May even go to counseling so you will take him back. Also called the “honeymoon stage”. THE TENSION BUILDING STAGE BEGINS AND THE CYCLE IS REPEATED. AN ABUSER’S POWER & CONTROL CAN TAKE MANY FORMS Isolation: Controlling where she goes, what she does, where she lives; isolating her from family and friends. Intimidation: Putting her in fear by using looks, actions, gestures, smashing things, destroying her property. Emotional Abuse: Insulting and putting her down, jealousy and possessiveness. Playing mind games. Economic Abuse: Trying to keep her from getting a job. Taking her money, making her ask for money. Sexual Abuse: Making her do things against her will. Treating her like a sex object. Attacking her body/sexual parts. Spiritual Abuse: Not letting her go to church or church functions. Not letting her worship in her own way. Threats: Threatening harm/kill her or other family members. Threats to harm or take the children from her. Animal Abuse: Neglect or physical abuse to family pets or farm animals. EVENTUALLY ALL OF THESE CAN LEAD TO PHYSICAL ABUSE: PUSHING, SLAPPING, CHOKING, ETC Myths of Domestic Violence Click here to learn how to keep an abuser from tracking your internet activity WANT OUT?

They may be able to offer you a safe place to stay if you need a break or if you decide to leave. ~Keep a list of essential phone numbers in a safe place. These should include the 24-Hour National Domestic Violence Freephone Helpline 0808 2000 247, your local police station and a solictor's number. ~Always keep your mobile fully charged or your card topped up.
