After Rebecca left an abusive relationship, she felt broken. She told her counselor, "I can't do this." Then her counselor told her something that she will never forget.
If you or someone you know is experiencing partner abuse, you can find support from the National Domestic Violence Hotline in the United States at 1-800-799-7233. That's 1-800-799-SAFE. You can also text START to 88788.
