Leaving a partner with unhealthy or abusive behaviors comes with its share of challenges. As overwhelming as it might feel, an integral part of getting back on your feet is finding someone you can trust. bit.ly/3e7Rco4
Your boundaries are YOURS to build. It's important partners feel comfortable expressing their wants, goals, fears, and limits, and everyone’s boundaries are honored. bit.ly/3Fx0w6c

The line between unhealthy and abusive behavior isn’t always clear, but abusive actions should never be written off as “normal.” No matter the situation, everybody deserves to be in a healthy relationship free from violence and take violence in a relationship seriously.
Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month may be ending, but love is respect is here for you year-round. 💛 You’re not alone—let’s keep the conversation going beyond February. 💬
