Domestic violence

Has he ever trapped you in a room and not let you out?
Has he ever raised a fist as if he were going to hit you?
Has he ever thrown an object that hit you or nearly did?
Has he ever held you down or grabbed you to restrain you?
Has he ever shoved, poked, or grabbed you?
Has he ever threatened to hurt you?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then we can stop wondering whether he’ll ever be violent; he already has been.

Domestic violence is the abuse by one person against another in a marriage or cohabitation.Most people assume that only women suffer from this kind of violence but the truth is that even some men are abused by their partners.

This violence is very common among couples and some people may think that its normal to tolerate their abusive partners in the name of love.Well i beg to disagree!

No matter how much you feel about someone,how much you care about them or even how much they make you vulnerable,you shouldn't endure any pain whether its physical,emotional or even psychological in your relationship.

If someone claims that they love and care about you,they should be ready to accommodate all your flaws and talk through any challenges that may come up as you stay together.

Domestic violence can happen in heterosexual or same sex relationships or between former spouses or partners.It can also involve  violence against children,parents,or the elderly.

It takes a number of forms,including physical,verbal,emotional,economic,religious,reproductive and sexual abuse.

In recent news,rape,abuse and violation of women rights have become rampant and the worse part is that some of the victims of this abuse do not  get justice.

The constitution of Kenya condemn against domestic violence and provide protection against such act as mentioned in Act No 2 of 2015 in the laws of  Kenya.

Therefore anyone should report any form of abuse to the authorities before it gets out of hand.Cases of couples killing their partners are not news today therefore 'get out 'before you are carried in casket.
An abuser can seem emotionally needy. You can get caught in a trap of catering to him /her, trying to fill a bottomless pit. But he/she’s not so much needy as entitled, so no matter how much you give him/her, it will never be enough. He/she will just keep coming up with more demands because he /she believes his/her needs are your responsibility, until you feel drained down to nothing.
