Save “Ike, Jr.” With The “Creep Alert”

“Watching, hearing, or later learning of a parent being harmed, threatens the core sense of stability and security provided by family. Children, who live in a household with domestic abuse experience sadness, fear, guilt, anger, shame and confusion. The impact of witnessing a parent being emotionally and physically injured is intensified when another parent figure is responsible for the violence.”- Scotland.gov

Children are always victims of our regrets or mistakes. Children watch and duplicate. If we teach them how to be slaves- they slave. If we teach them how to play basketball- they play basketball. Their social norms are created through their household, the media, their community and their time spent at school. The same thing happens with different forms of abuse. We learn the majority of our behaviors from our childhood- including being abusive to our partners.

According to CNN.com’s article, “How to avoid dating an abusive creep” these are some signs you need to look out for, in order to protect yourself from being in an abusive relationship and ultimately protecting your children:

1.) If the person is too close, too fast
2.) If he/or she is a green-eyed monster
3.) If he/or she asks, “You’re wearing THAT?!?”
4.) If he or she is a control freak
5.) If he/or she plays the blame game

Please protect your babies.
