Are you aware that all-cause abuse increases during the major fall and winter holidays? And, just to be clear, I\u2019m including Super Bowl Sunday that \u201cconcludes\u201d the \u201cdangerous holiday season\u201d \u2013 November through late January\/early February. All-cause abuses increase in all relationships such as parent to child, adult child to older parent, abuse of cashiers and store clerks, etc. All of these relationships become more stressed and strained than at any other time during the year. Holiday situations such as meals with extended family, travel away from home, unexpected weather stressors, sickness, children out of school who still need care \u2013 all contribute to the added stress even when we plan for these expectations well in advance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you\u2019ve heard all of this before, even if you know the holidays bring about more stress, it\u2019s good to remember all the different parts and signs and patterns of heightened emotions so you can attempt to be more aware as you tiptoe through this quarter of the year. You are often expected &#8211; by your own inner compass as well as that of your partner and family &#8211; to maintain a cheery and upbeat demeanor. In the back of your mind however, it\u2019s been your experience that you can never understand another&#8217;s expectation enough \u2013 it seems it\u2019s all part of the unspoken \u201cgame\u201d that is the matrix of abuse. Plus, as stated before, if you already know that your intimate relationship is rough at best, any emotional trigger can more easily erupt into a conflict, including physical violence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, police interventions related to domestic violence rise by at least 20% in December compared to the rest of the year. Additionally, Super Bowl Sunday alone can see a sharp, on-the-day rise in calls to crisis lines (searching this factoid on the internet brings a lot of debate citing it\u2019s been debunked but having worked in a center for domestic violence myself and speaking to those working crisis lines, their stated experience aligns with this notion). Also during the holidays, there is reduced and limited access to support services with reduced hours as well as being understaffed. It is wise to be aware of this for yourself and others as this makes leaving abusive situations or just seeking help much more difficult at this time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Families \u201cbeing together\u201d over this time can be a major trigger for violent behavior. We would like to think that togetherness brings love and joy and deep companionship and hopefully for all of us those desires can and will be true, but sometimes it\u2019s more of an illusion than reality. Many years in a row we find ourselves getting to the end of the holiday season barely breathing because we&#8217;ve been holding our breath the entire time. When you are with extended family, there are so many mixed emotions for everyone involved, and coming together with societal and cultural expectations and pressures can add fuel to an already lit ember of a coal just waiting for gas! That gas can be the smallest of comments or slightest of actions unintended to cause anything negative \u2013 but when you add all these variables, the slightest little misstep (as defined by another, not you) can just be the catalyst for a bonfire!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more difficult over this \u201cdangerous holiday season\u201d is the normalization and even trivialization of the abuse dealt to us in many cases by our own family members or really close<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">friends. This can make speaking up even more terrifying. Again, we\u2019d like to think that \u201ceveryone\u201d is happier and more joyful over \u201ctime with family\u201d and \u201ctime off from work\u201d \u2013 often this is more just a fairy tale playing in our head, another illusion rather than reality. During travel away from home or just lots of running around during this time we can feel obligated to double down on \u201ckeeping the peace\u201d for our children and other loved ones involved. Our internal obligations of what we want for \u201cpeace\u201d might include not wanting to report abuse fearing harsher retaliation or continuously doing more than our best at making things as normal as possible for our children. If we get out of line, we can be extra harsh on ourselves for being in the wrong. Remember, this is an illusion more than reality, as you ALONE do not carry the \u201cpeace of the season\u201d on your shoulders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the holidays approaching, please do yourself a favor, write down and keep in a safe place, all crisis line numbers, local shelter numbers, as well as friend\u2019s numbers. In your own time of need, you know your brain can be rattled and you might not be able to remember any of these details. You can duplicate these lists and put them in a make-up pouch, taped to your box of tampons, inside your favorite shoe under the lining. It\u2019s also a good idea to put a little cash in there too. This \u201cdangerous holiday season\u201d will pass \u2013 and we all know how time can fly. But we also know how slow it can feel when we are in heightened alert mode. Be kind to yourself. Talk to your inner cheerleader. Turn some love on yourself \u2013 look into a mirror and breathe deeply and tell yourself you are going to do your best to keep YOU safe this season. You have so many sisters who have walked this path before, remember, you are never alone.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Love-From-Above-2.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Love-From-Above-2-1024x585.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Love-From-Above-2-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Love-From-Above-2-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Love-From-Above-2-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Love-From-Above-2-800x457.png 800w, https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Love-From-Above-2-200x114.png 200w, https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Love-From-Above-2.png 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most likely, if you\u2019re already in a difficult relationship, and you may even acknowledge it as abusive, you\u2019ll \u201cjust be trying to stay small\u201d throughout the holidays.
