How to Handle an Abusive Relationship

Video Transcript

"How do you handle a live grenade? How do you handle an abusive relationship? This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls, a boomer woman's guide to men and dating. As a relationship consultant, I can tell you one thing for certain. Handling a live grenade, with the pin pulled, and the clip off, is a very, very serious situation. I've done that. You have a time frame, before that fuse ignites the grenade, about ten seconds. You don't stand there and count, like you see in the movies. You simply throw that grenade. It will take care of itself, and whoever happens to be on the receiving end. The bottom line is the same for how you handle an abusive relationship. There is a timer in there, my friends, and you better realize that timer is now. You don't handle an abusive relationship. You get out of an abusive relationship, because that ticker is going as you are there, on a daily basis, and it doesn't get any better. It will explode. There are only two kinds of people in abusive relationships, those who are going to be beaten, and those who have been beaten. Listen carefully, because I've talked to so many people on the air, about how they have, quote, unquote, survived, or not survived, an abusive relationship, so keep that analogy of a hand grenade in mind, when you're talking about that abusive relationship. Don't talk, walk. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today, be your realities of tomorrow."
