I have been an AAA (American Automobile Association) member for over 12 years. They have come through for me for flat tires and the many times I locked myself out of my car.
I have rarely needed them in the last few years though but kept paying my membership dues just in case.
The AAA I will be showcasing today is not known for helping damsels in distress, far from it. This AAA is one you should be mindful of and protect yourself against.
Anger, Alcohol, Ammunition
The trifecta of anger, alcohol and ammunition could be deadly when mixed together. Anger fuels the intent. Alcohol disables the inhibitions and the ability to reason rationally. Ammunition in the form of any weapon ; guns, knives or even poison could very well bring the intent to fruition.
If your partner exhibits the AAA combo, you need to protect yourself and your kids(if you have any). Hold out till he seeks help for what plagues him.
Here is a nifty list of treatment options for you both:
1. Anger management classes for him
2. Substance Abuse Programs such as Alcohol Anonymous for him
3. Lock up firearms at the very least or get rid of them.
4. Sleep with one eye open- no seriously.
5. Run away from home and seek refuge with trusted friends or a battered woman’s shelter.
Thank you for sharing these tips. It’s such an important topic and these tips will be so helpful for many women in need.
You bet!
Thanks for sharing my dad growing up had AA- anger and alcohol. So I know the fear.
I can imagine the rough that was for you Tara. Good thing he did not have the final “A”- ammunition.
Holy scared cow! Thankfully I have never had to even contemplate such action or awareness. Great way to capture the content and our attention with the AAA!
Who knew that AAA stood for something else besides American Automobile Association, right?
Shocking how many couples can find themselves in these difficult and trying situations, I pray that women in dangerous relationships have a back up plan in place and if not heed your advise.
Amen!
