Urgent and relationship-safety support
- The National Domestic Violence Hotline. Used here to direct United States visitors toward confidential relationship-abuse support and safety-planning resources, not to diagnose abuse through a quiz.
- Find A Helpline. Used here as an international route for visitors seeking local crisis or support lines.
- 988 Lifeline. Used here for United States crisis support information where a visitor may be concerned about immediate emotional safety.
General background reading
- American Psychological Association: Relationship breakups. Background reading on coping following relationship dissolution; it does not supply a prediction about a visitor’s relationship.
- Apostolou et al., Strategies for Coping With the End of a Desirable Intimate Relationship. Open-access discussion of coping strategies; it informs the site’s careful language about patterns rather than individual outcomes.
- headspace: Getting Through a Relationship Breakup. Practical youth-focused background information; it does not replace local professional advice.
How the sources are used
The scenario workbooks are original editorial structures. They do not claim that a source proves a reader should send or not send a message. Sources are used to establish appropriate scope: general reflection can be useful, but relationship safety, crises, and persistent distress deserve specialist support.
