National Love is Kind Day is observed on July 27. It is a day to celebrate those who have escaped domestic violence or domestic abuse. We are celebrating freedom from such abusive relationships or situations. Rosie Aiello and Sunny started the day through their organization, The Love is Kind Network, in 2018. The Love is Kind Network is an initiative to spread the message of love and kindness around the world. The day was chosen on July 27 as it is the same day the founders of the day gained freedom from a toxic relationship.

Were you a victim of domestic violence or domestic abuse? Then this is a day to celebrate your freedom. Also, use this freedom to help others who are suffering the same way you did.

I was not aware of this national day until reading this website. I experienced domestic abuse in a prior relationship many many years ago. It took me a long time to realize I was worth more than that but I finally overcame and was able to walk away. Love is kind and not abusive. I am so much better and have learned to enjoy life and love myself. So for anyone out there who has also sustained an abusive relationship and was able to overcome and walk away have a wonderful day  and celebrate knowing that Love IS kind !.

If someone loves you they would NEVER raise their hand to you and they would never knowingly cause you suffering. Anyone who believes they have the right to punish their partner has the potential to abuse.

Advice I give to people who are starting to date or are starting back up is: When you're first dating someone, do not commit (definitely don't marry them) until you've both seen each other at your very worst. You need to know how each other reacts when thwarted and irate.

That's the only way to know whether the person can control him or herself under extreme stress. And it takes time for that to happen naturally. (Provoking it deliberately as a sort of test is a very bad idea.) Which is why a very long courtship is generally wise. You have to see the person at their best and worst to know whether a lifetime together is a good idea.

I marvel and applaud your determination and courage.

Sometimes in life you never know how strong you are until that pivotal moment puts you to the test. You changed your life and persevered.

You are an inspiration. May you know nothing but love and kindness from this point on. Bless you.

To bad that now a days most of these abusers are let out the same or next day .....

 There's a case of a woman who was murdered  because her abuser was let out  so quickly.
