March 23, 2010

Breaking the Cycle of Abuse
March 13, 2010
The easiest way to break the chain of abuse for your own family is to make the abuse that has happened to you known. Keeping it a secret is the easiest way for the abuse to continue. The abuser hopes and prays that the abuse is kept secret. The abuser needs to keep you in their control and fearful of anyone knowing about the abuse.

Our antagonist is our helper”. Handling objections can be difficult. Our most basic instinct is to argue our side and convince the objector to see it our way.
