It's never too late to walk away. No matter how far in you are or how much older you've become.
Whether it's physical, sexual, emotional, cultural or psychological, abuse in any form is violence to humanity. Do not surrender yourself to someone else's control because you think you deserve the punishment you receive, you are not a child of a lesser God.

Once that first slap hits you, or that nasty comment shreds your dignity, take a step back because it's in such instances that someone's true nature is revealed. Trust me, toxic behavior never changes.
Such taints in character can be identified earlier on in relationships through occasional snide comments or moody behavior or other subtle hints and trust your gut when it tells you to walk away before you decide to fully commit yourself.
Don't become a statistic. True freedom starts with acknowledging that you deserve better.
