Apathy in relationships between couples, in families, friendships, in the workplace and in local councils and governments is a silent killer of relationship.

Why? It tears human relationships apart causing sometimes irrepairable damages to the affection once held in high regard especially in close family bonds and relationshipd in marraiges, families, exteneded families, friendships and working relationships.

There are many who know personally how apathy has severely affected their relationships by the gradual deepening pain experienced due to the loss of affection and feeling from those we are closest to and care for as humans we crave affection – hugs, cuddles, comfort to feel secure and safe.

We need to reach out and support others wherever we can and see that need to meet it which in turn encourages others to reach out to us in our need.
