Lesson 6 of 6
How to tell this has outgrown reading
There is no line painted on the floor, but there are markers, and none of them says anything about your faith.
You are frightened of a parent or a relative, or you have been threatened.
There is any threat attached to marriage, to travel, or to your passport, or you are being pressured into a marriage.
Your money is controlled, or somebody else holds your documents.
Anything physical is happening now, or a child in the family is being harmed.
You are having thoughts of not wanting to be alive, or of harming yourself.
You cannot function. You are not sleeping, or you are not managing work or study.
You are drinking or using something to get through contact with them.
Any one of these is a reason to reach somebody today. Not because you are weak, and not because your family is worse than you thought, but because those are the situations a set of lessons cannot hold.
