We All Know


#metoo We've seen the headlines, we know what those words symbolize. We know the pain each one who posts it is carrying We know. We know what a healthy relationship is; trusting, loving, caring, supporting. But too often the same places we learn those things teach not so healthy things too. From school, from childhood, from everywhere. "He hits you because he likes you." "Boys will be boys." "She's just a little girl, and you're a big strong man. Are you really scared of her?" We've all heard these things a million times. We Know. We all know.k
