Women can take all the self-defense classes they want, but the best defense is getting into a mind frame that gives you the OK to leave an abusive situation. I’ve learned that nothing you really want ever comes easy and that applies heavily to your own safety. You can learn to land a good punch, or get out of a choke hold but once freed, then what? While I understand how empowering it must feel for a woman to take down a man, the bottom line is safety comes with distance. The earlier you recognize how abusive a person is the better chance you have of leaving once and for all. No woman on this earth can ever change a man’s behaviour. Everyone learns to do that on their own. Everyone.

So ladies, please, put yourself first. However hard it is and however long it takes please find a way.

Peace.
