What do you do if you're in a romantic relationship with someone who physically, emotionally or sexually abuses you? It's possible that you don't even recognize the fact that you're being abused. In fact, 28 percent of young adults have experienced violence in a romantic relationship. Like healthy relationships, abusive relationships have ups and downs, and it's easy to write off the bad moments when you're in a good one. However, the strategy for ending an abusive relationship is fundamentally different. On today's WellCast, we're going to show you how to tell if you're in this kind of relationship, and how to safely get out of the relationship ASAP.

Resources:
If, at any time, your safety is in jeopardy, call 911 or this National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE. There is nothing more important than your health and wellbeing.
