== == Only if both parties are willing to get help and work through their issues. I know a couple that did, but it takes *a lot* of work. Yet, if your not willing to my advice would be to walk away, because no one deserves to live a life of abuse.

Yes it's possible for two people to both be abusive. It's called "an adrenalin rush." Each person eggs the other on and the sad thing is, it's not really about winning, but just the sport of humiliating someone. One partner can be abusive and the victim that has to put up with it can also pick up the habits of abuse. For example: A woman can be abused by her husband and in turn it's possible she can abuse her own children. Part of it is the feeling she has lost total control and doesn't know how to get out of the situation, but she can take those frustrations out on the children because she knows she has control and they don't. Not all abused women pick on their children. No, there is little hope of both parties sticking together if they are both abusive. It's like one alcoholic helping another and I'm talking about someone who has kicked the alcohol habit. Two emotionally abused people just can't help each other and stats show that abusive people seldom get help for their problems.

How you do keep yourself from sabatoging a healthy relationship after leaving an abusive one?

Answer The worst thing anyone can do after getting out of an abusive relationship is to get involved with anyone on a serious level if you haven't gotten proffessional help first. Some people can walk away from such things as an abusive relationship, but not many are that strong. If you haven't sought some kind of Thearipy perhaps you should as you will always feel threatened when the other person raises his voice to you. Why go through that pain, do something about it first.

How can once being in an abusive relationship affect future relationships Distrust of people how will the past abuse affect your lifestyle any unhealthy signs to watch for?

Some one who does not understand BDSM posted "being into bdsm is an unhealthy sign" this is a lie. All studies of people into BDSM have shown that most people into BDSM are happy normal people who just have kinks to there life. Most people who are into abusive relationships never get into BDSM relationships. If someone is into BDSM and there is also a abusive relationship going on all you need to do is look for the normal signs of a abusive relationship. Most BDSM couples for the most part have happy and healthy relationships but have a relationship that looks more like the idealized ones from the 1950's and may add play that would look abusive from the outside but is truly not. What I would tell people is take time to talk to both parties and look for the signs of an abusive relationship.
