The world can feel like everything is moving uncontrollably fast. But there are some things we can control. Look out for early signs that may point to unhealthy relationships later.
Love bombing includes exorbitant affection, attention, and flattery. What begins as feeling like passionate love may turn into control and emotional abuse. Recognizing love bombing early on is crucial to avoid getting trapped in a toxic relationship.

Friday is for Facts
Studies show that 57% of homeless women report domestic violence as their immediate cause of homelessness. More than 90% of homeless women have experienced severe physical or sexual abuse at some point, and 63% are survivors of violent abuse.
These statistics are just one reason why we do what we do.
With Awareness There is Hope!
Part of a healthy relationship is identifying and communicating your desires and boundaries. Love and respect yourSELF by being true to what YOU want.
We all deserve healthy relationships!
