- “Am I being abused?” Psychologist Dr. David Clarke helps identify red flags in a friend’s relationship or your own-and what to do when you see those signs.
Because when the abuse starts, enough is enough. You need to get to safety. Now.
It’s time to find a haven somewhere else. There will be a chance, down the road, to assess where your marriage is headed in the long term. No one is saying divorce is the inevitable outcome. God can transform anyone.
But He doesn’t promise to do that. People choose to persist in sin. And that’s why it’s imperative to think clearly, take stock of the situation, and most of all, protect yourself and those whom you love.
Dr. David Clarke, a licensed psychologist specializing in marital therapy for more than 30 years, wants to help you make the break from your abusive relationship. Whether or not divorce is on the horizon is beside the point. You need to get out, so you can sort it out.
Dr. Clarke understands this journey won’t be easy. That’s why he provides practical advice, as well as biblical guidance. Physical, emotional, sexual, verbal, or other abuse is a sin that doesn’t come from above.
Give your marriage the best chance to succeed. Only with some distance will you be able to see what your loving, ever-faithful God has in store for you and assess your marriage for the long term.

I did plenty of separation. He didn't go get help and it got worst over 15 years. The best thing I did was divorced him and leave for good for me and my children. There were drugs, cheating, lying, porn addiction, abandonment and so much more. I am looking at my very best state of peace and joy just loving me and taking care of me so I can better love and care for my children.
Many abusers will not accept that they are the problem. My ex husband never apologized and always deflected the blame onto me. He would not talk about his family except to say how perfect his father was.
We are sorry to hear that, we will be praying for you.
Thank you so much 🌟🌟🌟

What about a wife who is abusive towards her husband? Is it the same or does it look different?
I'd say a lot is the same.
It’s the exact same from a moral standpoint.
Abuse is wrong from either the man or the woman.
A lot of the lazy covert narcs were not always in abusive households. They were just spoiled by their parents and never held accountable.
Yes, it's often not black and white.
This program makes it clear that the man is always the problem.
I almost donated to this "ministry" once.
Glad I didn't.
I think they’re speaking of one gender as a generality (for ease of conversation) that can be applied to both genders, they obviously know that there are abusive women and the abuse is just as real and damaging.
Woman can be the problem..
@@julioj.5655 Could be, but people with a modicum of intelligence should know enough to make that clear.
When did they say that? (They didn't)
That’s strange… You need to expose yourself to David Clark, a little more… I cannot count how many times I’ve heard him say that sometimes it is a woman… Even though most of the time is the man!… I am not offended by the truth, you share… So hopefully you’re not offended by the truth of what I just shared.
