Constantly leaving and being persuaded back into the trap of an abusive relationship is a cycle that needs to stop, and you can stop right now. This cycle will not end until you completely end all contact with your partner. Do not under estimate the power they have over you, and stop pretending that you will leave if it gets to that point. Trust me, it is already at that point. If you leave once, or even threaten to leave because he/she was abusive and return, then you are living this cycle of abuse. Even the strongest person can fall into this vicious cycle. You probably will need help, and that is more than okay.
You could be the girl or boy who cried wolf in your group. You could be the silent type and never tell anyone about what you are going through in your relationship. What you could be is a mix of both, where you tell some people just the tip of the iceberg, but not enough for them to freak out. Well, that was me, I did not tell my close friends and family every bad thing that happen because I did not want all the attention, and also I did not want to be in an abusive relationship. It becomes more real that way. The cycle will never end if you do not change anything. You will always be lured back in because that person loves having power over you. I have spoken to numerous women who have been in abusive relationships, and all of them tried to leave over and over again, but were sucked back into the evil cycle. This is not 100% the abusers fault. We give them our power each time we accept abuse and believe their lies. Remember that at any time you can have all your power back and them some. This deserves repeating…AT ANY TIME YOU CAN HAVE ALL YOUR POWER BACK AND THEM SOME!!
Take responsibility for your life and make a clean, fast, and most importantly permanent break!

Come On Guys~Divorce Really Isn't a Surprise
Divorce is always good for women, if not right away, then eventually. I say this because women typically do not divorce on a whim, they do so after years sacrificing their wants and needs for the benefit of others, until they finally learn that unhappiness is not par for the course.

Colleges Must Improve Self-Defense Courses for Women
Many colleges offer self defense courses, especially for incoming freshmen, preparing young women with certain skills in physical self defense in case they are ever attacked. This is comforting to parents, but the reality is, their daughters are more likely to be mentally and emotionally intruded upon than attacked, and physical attack will more than likely come from someone they already know or are already in a relationship with~and it will come from someone who got to them mentally and emotionally first. Training in this first line of defense is missing, and desperately needed.

***Chris Brown Annoyed At Robin Roberts
This morning, March 22, 2011, Chris Brown made an appearance on Good Morning America to promote his new album F.A.M.E., which stands for “forgiving all my enemies,” he said. He quickly became uncomfortable and irritated by Robin Roberts as she interviewed him, barely probing into his past to address what was on everyone's mind. Brown didn’t like it one bit, and his body language spoke volumes when Roberts asked questions about a change in the restraining order against him.
