The Cycle of Abuse

The Cycle will break you
Understand how it Destroys you

The saddest thing of all: This insidious repetitious cycle will break you so smoothly, there's an excellent chance you won't even realize you've lost yourself. For some people it may take years... but it will break you.

Each time you take a spin on the Cycle of Abuse you lose a little piece of yourself. You never quite make it back up to your top again. Oh I know, you may think and believe you have... but you haven't. Every cycle of abuse takes you lower and lower and lower until one day, there is nothing left of you. You just don't recover. Look closely at yourself and your life... feel your feelings... listen to your own heart... reach into your spirit. I now ask you...

Are you really the same person you were before you began riding The Cycle of Abuse?
The Cycle of Abuse keeps you fearful and off balance both emotionally and psychologically.

Phase 1...........Tension Building
Tension increases, breakdown of communication, you become fearful and feel the need to placate him.

Phase 2..........Incident
Verbal, Emotional, Physical abuse. Anger, Blaming, Arguing. Threats. Intimidation.

Phase 3.........Reconciliation
He apologizes, gives excuses, blames YOU, denies the abuse occurred, or says the abuse wasn't as bad as you claim.

Phase 4.........Calm
Incident is "FORGOTTEN" nothing happened
