ABUSE...
I often hear that term used, it is truely sad that this is what Both women and men have grown use to. Be it verbal mental or physical. Abuse is ABUSE and it is wrong... Often People in this situation see it and know that they don't like it . It hurts, and IT'S WRONG. But become dependent and use to dealing because the person, (and i use the term person loosely), commiting the abuse often plays on the vitims weaknesses. Weaseling their way in and making them feel like it is them ALL THEM , nothing could be further from the truth...
NO ONE deserves to live in fear or pain, Man Woman or Child.
Abusers are masters of disquise, able to fool family and friends into thinking that it is not possible. This is where the big problems begin I was reading Dear Abby and saw this question.
"My husband " Rick ," sometimes hits me and calls me names. It hurts me because he's My life , and I love him to death. When I try to tell friends about it, they don't believe me because Rick is a firefighter. They all say, "I don't think he's like that,"and when I tell them HE IS like that, they get mad at me. Rick and I haven't been married long. I love him with all my heart and don't want to leave him. PLEASE HELP ME> I am all alone in this, and I need some help. - Wounded in west Virginia"
A perfect example of a MASTER OF DISQUISE , and their ability to both fool and manipulate family, and friends "he's not like that" WHAT A JOKE. If more people would take people reaching out more seriously we would have less Abuse caused deaths and suicides.
Her first Mistake is Making Him " HER LIFE" No I'm not saying don't love your other half completely but when you make someone your life, it give's them the power to take that away.
Second mistake is telling an abuser that you love them "to death" THEY TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!!!
Like in the movie "Madeas Family" reunion an exellent example of Abuse at it's Worst. A high Powered Man Beats his Fiance and no one know's She tell's her mother and her mother Basicly tell's her to live with it.. Her sister finds out tells Madea and Madea tell's her to "Make him some Grits"I don't think I need to explain this But if your lost she throws the boiling grits on the Jerk and leaves.
