In light of all of the posts about abusive relationships, suicidal thoughts, PPD and more. I am sharing these hotlines and resources. PLEASE USE THEM IF YOU NEED THEM.

EXERCISE COMMON SENSE. If someone is hitting you, threatening you, degrading you and treating you like property, that is NOT a relationship. That is something you need to run from.

❗IF YOU ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER CALL 9-11! DO NOT HESITATE TO GET POLICE INVOLVEMENT❗
