Notes:

1) Men are also recipients of abuse by their spouses.

2) If you are in a destructive relationship, typical marriage books and resources can make your situation worse.

3) This section is included not because Asian Americans are more destructive, but because abuse is not talked about

in As-Am cultures, and the general lack of understanding about destructive relationships in the helping fields.
