Nobody but nobody deserves abuse. Well, let me amend that. Human predators deserve to suffer their own actions inflicted upon themselves, 17 times a day for enternity. But I digress.

Abuse has no place within a healthy relationship. And if you're already in an abusive relationship, you need to realize the following thing. And fast.

Abuse is not love. Abuse is the pathetic use of power to make the abuser feel strong. When someone abuses you, they do so not "for your own good" but to make up for their own shortcomings and insecurities.

It's so easy to get sucked into an abusive relationship, especially if you've already come from one. Abusers are often master manipulators...people who sniff out your vulnerabilities and prey upon them to the point you cannot feel good about yourself unless you're given permission to do so.

It can be really tough to walk away from an abusive relationship. Human nature being what it is, hope springs enternal. It really does! And you can simply want to believe "...it was really a mistake...if only I was more understanding or more accomondating or more of a man or more of a woman or sexier or a better provider or ...I just know it won't happen again!"

Yep. And the sun won't rise tomorrow, either.

Stopping abuse is darned difficult but it can be done. One of the first steps is to value yourself via self-esteem. Another step is to realize the precious gift to a deserving person that you really are.

The Inner Personal Edge will help you discover the beauty that is you. Think about it this way - you wouldn't bestow the Crown Jewels upon a thief in the night, would you?

Then why offer up your love or commitments and energies to the same type of person? It's the same type of crushing loss. Only far more personal and devastating.
