Recognizing Abuse

It can happen to anyone, any place, any time…

Those who choose to abuse another person can be successful, educated, active, healthy and capable individuals. They may present as a caring partner or parent. Many are involved with the community and in their children’s lives. Often they commit the abuse only in secret and out of the public eye.

Not always but often a batterer…
