Every family has trouble getting along every now and then. It is ok for people in a family to get upset with each other.
Abuse can happen when there is hitting, slapping, or kicking.
Abuse can also happen when family members are put down or touched in wrong ways. Families should not have to live with abuse and violence. If your family has trouble like this, you are not alone. Please tell a safe adult about what is going on. It is also a good idea to have a safety plan to help you know what to do next time someone is your family is being hurt.
