Abuse is defined as any of the following:

1. 2.

3. To use something to bad effect or for a bad purpose; misuse. To treat a person or an animal with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly. To speak in an insulting and offensive to or about someone.

When it comes to being abused, in whichever manner, society will have you thinking you should victimize yourself. The problem with playing the victim is that you don ’t give yourself a chance to truly heal. Playing the victim typically requires a more negative thought process, and dwelling in negativity is certainly not the way to heal.

Victims of abuse should remember the following:

1. 2. 3. If you ’ re here to tell the story, you ’ re more then a victim; you ’ re a survivor! It’ s not your fault! Give yourself some grace. You ’ re not alone! Don ’t be afraid to tell someone.

If you or someone you know has been the victim of abuse, call any of these hotline numbers:

Domestic Abuse: 1(800) 799-7233 Sexual Abuse: 1(800) 656-4673
