Are You Safe In Your Relationship?
You do not deserve to be hurt. Nothing you say or do causes your
partner to hurt you. We all get angry sometimes, but when we
do, we all have choices. We can choose to express ourselves in
healthy ways. Or we can be irresponsible and choose to hurt someone
else - which is not healthy.
