Advice from Krista Colon:
Covering the #DV beat: Include survivors & advocates—not just law enforcement. Zoom out from the incident to the systemic pattern/conditions (#immigration, #housing, #DVprevention) and report those stories before tragedy.

“Apologies” without change are manipulation. Watch patterns, not promises.

🚩 Abusers often look charming at first, then slowly push boundaries.
👉 Say “no” early, notice their reaction, and trust your gut feelings of doubt or anxiety—they’re signals to protect you.

Masking can make it harder to set boundaries. ✋ But boundaries + intuition = protection.
A real partner respects your “no” & makes you feel safe—not controlled. 💕
