These first times are signs of abuse. #toxic #hehatesyou #mamatones #toxicrelationship

"The first time he throws food at you, you fuckin' leave. The first time he knocks a plate out of your hand, you fuckin' leave. The first time he throws a drink, smash his dinner. Or makes you clean up the mess he created, you fuckin' leave. The first time he screams in your face, you leave. The first time he blocks the doorway, takes your keys, or stands over you so you can't get away. You better fuckin' leave. The first time he humiliates you in front of the kids, then laughs and said he was joking, you leave. The first time he breaks your things, punches a wall, kicks a door, or drives like a fuckin' maniac because he is angry, you leave. The first time you notice yourself checking his face before you speak, you leave. The first time you start hiding what happens inside your house, you leave. The first time your body goes stiff, when you hear his footsteps, you leave. Stop waiting for him to hit you before you call it dangerous. Throwing food at you is violence, destroying things around you is intimidation, making you afraid inside your own home is abuse. Every time you stay after he crosses another line, he learns that the line can move. What was the first thing he did that made you feel afraid of him?
