We just call them different things and ignore the connection.

Abuse sneaks up on us disguised in unhealthy love.

I work for an organization called One Love, started by a family whose daughter, Yardley, was killed by her ex-boyfriend.

This was a tragedy no one saw coming.

But when they looked back, they realized the warning signs were there, just no one understood what they were seeing.

Called crazy or drama or too much drinking, his actions weren't understood to be what they really were, which was clear signs of danger.

Her family realized that if anyone had been educated about these signs, her death could have been prevented.

So today we're on a mission to make sure that others have the information that Yardley and her friends didn't.

We have three main goals.

Give all of us a language for talking about a subject that's quite awkward and uncomfortable to discuss.

Empower a whole front line, namely friends, to help.

And in the process, improve all of our ability to love better.

To do this, it's always important to start by illuminating the unhealthy signs that we frequently miss.

And our work really focuses on creating content to start conversations with young people.

As you'd expect, most of our content is pretty serious, given the subject at hand.

But today, I'm going to use five markers of unhealthy love.

The first is intensity.

Abusive relationships don't start out abusive, they start out exciting and exhilarating.

There's an intensity of affection and emotion, a rush.

It feels really good.
