Knot Of Fear #DVAM2017

10/1/2017

0 Comments

 
By Sandra K. Ziebold
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

There is a knot of fear that goes along with having experienced being a victim of a frequent, consistent and systematic pattern of domestic violence abuse.  Domestic violence is about power and control.  Abuse occurs when there is consistent unwanted dominance and control exerted over another. 

You may be in an intimate partner relationship and thinking to yourself, "What happened, I felt so wonderful and now I feel this horrible ache that won't leave the pit of my stomach.  How did I get here and why do I feel so trapped?  What can I do better?  If I can do things better then he/she will, be okay / be calm / be happy."  If you have thoughts like that, then stop for a second and really think about your thought pattern. 

Can you remember the last time you didn't have that aching knot of fear in your stomach? If you are constantly fearful that your every single breath or action is going to trigger anger and violence in another person exerting control over you, then our advocates can help you.  It is domestic violence awareness month and you need to know that you are valued, there is a safe way to get out of your situation and you deserve a life free from the grip of domestic violence. 

We are here to help.  Our crisis line number is (317)731-6140
