People in our culture frequently seem to have ideas about what survivors could have done differently to avoid abuse or should do now to stay safe – and we share those ideas freely, which can do a lot of harm.

The truth is, the person in control of the abuse is the abuser, and survivors go to great lengths to manage all of the risks and threats in their lives. They often do this in isolation, and their efforts go unnoticed. The next time you hear someone saying, “I’d never let someone do that to me,” speak up and tell them it isn’t that easy. Chances are good there is a survivor within earshot that could use the boost. And if someone shares their story with you, avoid suggesting what they “should have done differently,” and instead try recognizing that they are working really hard in a terrible situations, and how admirable their efforts are. #TakeActionMaine #DVAMinME18 #EndDV ...
