Abusers may also throw or break objects as a punishment (breaking treasured possessions), but throwing or breaking objects mostly used to terrorise the victim into submission. The abuser may break or strike objects near the victim to frighten them. Threats of violence include any threat or physical force meant to control the victim: “I’ll kill you”, “I’ll break your neck”, “If you ever leave, I’ll kill you.” No one! I'll repeat myself NO ONE (not even you) deserves, has earned or made someone do it! You are worthy, you matter, you are special, you are beautiful, you are a gift, you are unique, you are loved and you are so deserving of true love and the love that doesn't hurt! If you or anyone you know, is in an abusive relationship, please talk to the people that love you, a pastor, a friend, a parent, even a kid or the police. In closing, I had to come to the realisation that I was hurting the people I loved and hurting them, hurt me. No one, no human being deserves to be hit or have someone else's hands on them unless it's to hold, hug and cherish. PERIOD!
