Spirituality is the way we view the relationships we have with ourselves, other people, situations in our lives, and with God. We all have spirituality, but it can change and develop over time. Our view of ourselves, others and God grow and develop from childhood to adulthood and often after a crisis. Intimate partner violence breaks tender relationships and can turn us away from ourselves, our relationship with others and with God. Some people think they’ll never trust another person. Hearing the abusive criticisms again and again until one doubts herself: “Am I crazy like he says I am?” “Am I such an awful person?” He calls me “stupid” and “incompetent.”
