Looking for Help Does not Make You Weak
Most of us expect relationships to look like the ones we grew up around.
If you grew up in a loving home, you may find it difficult to understand why someone would use fear, insults, or control to get their way.
If you grew up around abuse, yelling, or violence, those behaviors can start to feel normal—not because they're healthy, but because they're familiar.
Neither experience gives anyone a free pass.
If someone is abusing you, there are things you can do to protect yourself and better understand your options.
If you recognize abusive behaviors in yourself, there are things you can -and should- do to change them.
Brotherhood Institute isn't here to judge you. It's here to help you understand unhealthy patterns so you can make informed decisions and build healthier relationships.
