Your survival instinct has kicked in... welcome back!

Abuse is not, however, limited to domestic or intimate relationships. Abuse occurs in elder-care homes and special-needs facilities. Children are abused by coaches and day-care guardians. Animals are horrifically used and abused by the millions. Abuse can happen at work, in the grocery store or on the internet.

No one and no living thing is safe from the possibility of a bully, a psychopath or personality disordered person trying to take advantage, do harm, use or manipulate for their own benefit.

• Are you here because you are being abused? Do you think you might be, but aren't sure?

• Are you here because you have recently ended an abusive relationship and you need to understand what happened to you, how it happened, why it happened and how you can best reclaim your life?
• Is someone you know in an abusive relationship and you want to help?
