Violence
It's never your fault.
Violence can be experienced in many ways. Whether it's mental or physical, it's bad.
Where physical violence can scar the body, psychological violence can scar the soul.
Many people often go with the feeling that it is shameful or that they themselves are out about it. Therefore, it can take a long time before you dare to talk about it out loud or break out of the vicious circle.
It is never your fault if you are subjected to violence, be it physical or psychological.
Therefore, it is important that you talk about it and get help to process the feelings that arise and that can damage your self-esteem.
There are different types of violence:
Physical: hitting, punching, spitting, kicking, etc.
Psychological: belittle, ridicule, ignore, etc.
Digital: send pictures, check your phone, manage who you can be friends with, etc.
Sexual: verbal and physical
Material: take/destroy your personal belongings such as your clothes, shoes, bag, teddy bear, etc.
All forms are transgressive and not something you should tolerate. If it's borderline for you, it's borderline for you.
In 1967, it was forbidden for teachers to hit students.
In 1997, physical violence was banned - also in homes.
In 2019, psychological violence has finally become a criminal offence.
I have started the chat line, held lectures and talked to many 100 people about violence in families.
"You may have received so little love,
that one experiences closeness as assault.
You may have gotten so little proximity,
that one experiences abuse as love.
