klausdiemaus: goldenphoenixgirl: EVERYONE needs to know this. This is how nearly all abusive relationships play out, nearly all of the time. It’s very, very common and very important.  Bear in mind that “violent outbursts” can also mean mental/verbal abuse, shoving or holding someone down, throwing things at the person or threats. Usually, this cycle worsens and worsens throughout the relationship. The violent episodes last longer and longer and the honeymoon phase gets shorter or may disappear completely, leaving the relationship bouncing back and forth between tension and explosions.  Please reblog if you think your readers could be helped by this? Essential information.  Here’s my video explaining this and more about relationship violence.  It’s called “When Love Gets Violent”.  TW for a very intense 911 call at the beginning. We reblog the cycle of violence a lot, but that’s because it’s a very helpful tool in understanding abusive relationships. The linked video is also great but the 911 call at the beginning could be very triggering, it ends at :23 if you want to skip it.
