The weekend of my 19th birthday, the boy I’d been dating for over two years r***d me. He later told me it was because I wasn’t ready to go when he arrived to pick me up that night. The relationship had been abusive for a long time; this was just a new layer. A few months later, I found the coura...

On average, a victim leaves an abusive relationship seven times. The break-up and time after are the most dangerous so it's important to understand why they may leave and how to help them.

The end of a relationship is difficult. For a survivor of an unhealthy or abusive relationship, there are many reasons why they may return.

From today's blog post

As a new relationship begins, whether it's beginning to talk with a crush or a first date, we're often excited and move forward with hopeful anticipation. We tend to think the other person is wonderful. We tell our friends all about what we believe are the other person's best attributes. This is all normal.

But teens and young adults are new to dating relationships. The excitement can cloud their judgment, or as the relationship grows, unhealthy qualities may begin to emerge.

Beautiful passage from Proverbs 2 about gaining wisdom. It's a father talking to his son, giving him advice for life and explaining how important it is to seek God's wisdom.

My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.

9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.
