What role can alcohol or other scapegoats play in a relationship?
Alcohol and other scapegoats often play the role of an excuse in unhealthy relationships. For instance, “Oh, we were just drunk, neither of us meant what we said.” It is important to recognize the difference between a reason and an excuse.
During the video, Seb loses control by throwing objects and punching a steering wheel. How could someone who is upset or angry with their partner handle their emotions in a healthy way?
If your partner’s anger and volatility scares you, that’s a big problem. Anger is an emotion that all people experience, but the difference is in how it’s handled. While it is natural to sometimes get angry, upset or frustrated with a partner, it is important to keep your cool and address the situation in a calm manner. When a person lashes out physically or verbally because of their anger, that is abuse.

How can you safely break up with a person?
Don't excuse abuse. Trust your gut — if you feel that something is off, take the time to evaluate how you are feeling and speak to your partner, friends, or family about it. If you feel afraid or have a sense that a breakup or conversation about someone’s anger would “push someone over the edge,” that’s a sign that you may be in danger and that you should make a safety plan.
True or False. Many will dismiss or downplay emotional abuse because they don’t think it’s as bad as physical abuse.
False. Emotional abuse has major consequences and it’s often hard to recognize. This form of abuse deteriorates a person’s self-esteem, independence and dignity.
