Regardless if you're spending Valentine's Day alone, with friends/family, and/or with a significant other, it is all okay. Valentine's Day may "just be another day," but let's be honest, it's a day that brings up a vast array of feelings for a lot of people, whether or not they're in a relationship. Are you unhappily single or in an unsatisfying relationship? Have you been having a difficult time seeing all the ads on TV for jewelry, flowers, and candy or walking into a store and seeing red and pink hearts dangling everywhere?

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence and dating violence are important topics that need to be discussed, for it is something that typically happens behind closed doors, and has the potential to be passed on for generations. Upon hearing the words "domestic violence," the first thoughts most,people conjure up is that it involves a physical act (e.g. punching, kicking, slapping, etc.). But did you know that domestic violence can occur in many forms, many of which don't require any physical contact at all?! |
