Domestic Abuse and Narcissistic Abuse Awareness with Feyisitan

How Do You Know You're In An Abusive Relationship? Domestic abuse rarely takes the form of a one-off event. It's a repeated pattern of a combination of physical and non-physical negative behaviours. Non-physical abuse is as hurtful and harmful to your emotional, physical, spiritual and mental well-being as physical and sexual abuse are. Identifying signs of non-physical abuse starts with your feelings. If your gut feelings tell you 'something' is not right about the person you're dating or married to, don't ignore it. Trust your instincts, be observant, know the signs and make informed decisions. The list below is not exhaustive and in no particular order but will help you as a target of abuse to understand your experience or feelings - Feelings of Fear Feelings of Intimidation Manipulation Isolation from family, friends and loved ones Consistent Complaints, Condemnation or Criticism Blame Lack of Empathy Feelings of Rejection Lack of Ca...

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. When we say NO to domestic violence, what exactly are we saying NO to? Domestic Violence Awareness with Feyisitan Watch on  YouTube Domestic Abuse doesn't just happen. It is a learned behaviour influenced primarily by upbringing, peer pressure, societal, cultural and personal beliefs. It is a behavioural problem facilitated by underlying psychological challenges including possible suppressed traumatic experience. Perpetrators can be helped and their targets of abuse can be helped and saved. Check out other posts on: Instagram Facebook YouTube Thank you.

To everyone out there who has been hurt or still hurting from deliberate, negative or derogatory words spoken to them. Hear this... "The voice of the abuser is not the voice of God" Embrace God's chosen words for you. You are who God says you are and not someone's else's inability to appreciate your worth. Let's go...It is written - YOU are the righteousness of God" - 2 Corinthians 5:21 YOU are more than a conqueror through God who loves you - Romans 8:37 YOU are God's workmanship created for good works - Ephesians 2:10 YOU are of God...Greater is the God who lives in YOU than the enemy in the world - 1 John 4:4 YOU are the temple of the Holy Spirit - 1 Corinthians 6:19. Embrace the truth from the God who created you and NOT the lies from the mouth of an abuser. #benurturednottortured 😍 😍 😍 😍 #beinspired #beempowered #speakout #reachout #speakup #speaklife #standfirm #nevergiveup 😍 💖 💖 💖 . #domesticviolen...

Life experiences surely teach us things many of us did not bargain for. We were forced to learn through the journey of life. There are many things you don't get to learn in the classroom regardless of your level of educational qualification or exposure. The struggle with conception, medical challenges, weight loss, struggle with finances, bad habits, accidents, pains from the loss of a loved one, domestic violence, abuse, injustice, unemployment and other unpleasant circumstances have made some of us 'experts' on the subject matter that was once a challenge. . . . There is a purpose behind your pain, the struggle, the challenge. While you pray them away...Ask the Lord to open your heart and mind to see the 'Purpose' in it. It isn't just your story, It's your ministry and that's your purpose or at least, one of them. Use It! Remember Romans 8:28 - "And we know that for those who Love God, ALL things work together for good, for those w...

One of the greatest challenges victims/targets of abuse face in speaking out is getting people to believe them. This is because abusers usually have chronic multiple personalities or suffer from other forms of psychological challenges. The abusive partner could be the most amazing sibling, boss, friend, colleague, religious leader, saving other people's lives, being compassionate to other people BUT on the home-front, the abuser is a 'monster' or a 'devil's advocate' or 'in-house terrorist'. The person you see that you think you know is different from the person they know. Domestic abuse is not just physical but also include patterns of coercive control, manipulation, intimidation, verbal abuse, spiritual abuse and psychological abuse. Not every victim will have visible scars to show for their ordeal.  So when people experiencing domestic abuse reach out to you, Believe them. Help them to get help.
