Join Christy on day four of a compelling 26-day mini-series focused on domestic violence. In this episode, Christy delves into the critical early warning signs of abuse, emphasizing the importance of recognizing them before they escalate into more dangerous situations. She explains how abuse often begins subtly, manifesting as extreme jealousy, quick escalation in relationships, and the damaging effects of gaslighting.
Christy also highlights the unrealistic expectations abusers set and the manipulative tactics they use involving children and pets to maintain control. She stresses that these behaviors are rooted in control rather than love and advises listeners to trust their instincts.
Furthermore, Christy discusses the cycle of apologies followed by repeated abusive behavior, urging listeners to see through the empty promises and seek help. Her message is clear: recognizing these signs is vital, not only for personal safety but to help others who may be trapped in similar situations.
With a focus on empowerment and awareness, this episode is a call to action to share knowledge, support those in need, and break the cycle of abuse. Tune in tomorrow for a powerful survivor story from Sarah, as Christy continues to shed light on domestic violence.
