I agree, I think most women think of abusive of damaging relationship as only ones that include physical abuse - there are so many other ways that relationships can be negative and need to be ended!

So many women (and men) don't even know the signs of abuse. Often we're told, "If he's abusing you, then you can leave but if not, then you need to love, respect and submit (if you're married) to him regardless of his behavior." All the while, we don't even know how to define abuse and women end up staying in an unhealthy situation which is usually becoming more unhealthy by the minute. There is so much needless pain because women aren't educated to see the signs and if they do see them and seek help, excuses are made for the man's behavior. So, a lot of education still needed. I'm subscribing today so I don't miss any of the series.
