Let's break down Jealousy. This doesn't necessarily have to be between an intimate partner. It could be your best friend, a co-worker, or even a family member.  When you are in an abusive situation you may feel possessive about your partner or someone is keeping an eye on you! 

Your partner may stalk you, keep you isolated from your family and friends. An abuser may accuse you of cheating, or bully someone that they perceive as giving you attention. Listen in for more...

I'm warning you ahead of time during this past video I had awful allergies and had a runny nose so there is a lot of sniffling. I'm sorry! 

Are you being abused or are you the abuser?

Perhaps you grew up in a toxic environment and chaos is all you know. This has been shown to be a generational pattern. This isn't only about an intimate partner this can be between a family member, friend, co-worker.

Does this person do this:

Is there name-calling or put-downs?

Keep tabs on you

Jealous

Blame you for everything

Do they threaten to harm themselves or you?

Are you being isolated?

How do you know if you are abusive?

Do you call your partner names or put-downs?

Do you monitor their emails, phone, texts, social media posts?

Do you track your partner's movements?

Are you jealous of who your partner talks to?

Does any of this resonate with you? In either situation, this is so hard to start that admitting that you need help but new beginnings and experiences can feel scary. Take small steps to begin healing. Talk to a professional or trusted friend and know you are not alone!

Are you plagued by doubt, shame, and guilt? These are things that are not necessarily from an abusive situation. Perhaps, you had an incident in grade school where you felt embarrassed while giving a presentation where you stumbled over your words and the kids laughed. That situation can send you into a cycle of doubt. 

What can you do to break the strongholds that are holding you in bondage? Nailing down where the negative chatter stems from is so helpful. Listen in for more!

How did I keep my faith during the rollercoaster ride I went on during my divorce? I'll be honest, Sis it wasn't easy! I fell down on my knees more than once. Leaning on prayers, digging into my Bible, getting quiet, learning about what I wanted and what were my needs became important for me to heal. I don't know where you are on your walk but finding faith or something positive to help you is so important! I'll give you a dose of positivity in today's show.

This podcast like previous shows contains older recorded videos and interviews that you can find on my page at https://www.facebook.com/hopewhentherewasnone.

Flying monkeys?! What are these? I'm not talking about what you may have seen in the famous movie. I'm talking to anyone or everyone that are well-meaning or that turns a blind eye to the abuse. They may start the rumor mill, deny things happened to you, or this can be hurtful and devastating for you! There are two sides to each story but if a person knows you well enough they won't be charmed by your abuser. Here are a few things to try when dealing with Flying monkeys:

* Lose your temper you have power in your words and actions

* Leave the situation if you can

* If you are a person looking in consider verifying the information
