If your mate hits you one time…that's a sign the abuse…
“If your mate hits you one time…that's a sign the abuse will get more often, more violent. After the 1st time, the other times get much easier for them. They say they slapped you, when actually, it was a punch that left bruises, cuts, etc; then, next comes the heavy arsenal: when they pull a knife or gun on you an tell you if you try to leave they'll kill you, your children and any other SOB that tries to get in the way. GET OUT from the git'go. They DON'T change, even if they promise, cry an say they will!”
