I have debated many and many times whether to respond to this post or not. I agree with many parts of your post, especially where you mention that abuse is used to make the victim feel inferior to the abuser. I was involved in an abusive relationship with my boyfriend when I was a junior in high school for about six months. I can identify with most victims; however, my situation was not intense whereas I ever had to go to the hospital or had broken bones. You mentioned in your post that we should have helped ourselves. It really is not that easy. Of course we want help; I went in search of help to an adult that I thought I could confide in, but never received any great advice or assistance. I felt like I was back to square one and most of all HELPLESS. People always ask me why I stayed with him, and it is always difficult to answer that question. http://www.letswrap.com/dvinfo/whystay.htm is a link that you could use to perhaps incorporate next time. Have you ever considered that domestic abusers are not always men? Women are abusers as well. Your article is a little biased because you did not identify the FACT that women are too domestic abusers. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/26570.php is another article that identifies women as domestic abusers and this should help your next posting.
ReplyDeleteBeing that this post is under the Cancer Statistics tag, I was looking to learn about cancer. Once I saw that the title was If You Say You Love Me, Then Why Hit Me, I thought it would be interesting to see which cancer you were talking about. But that never happened.
ReplyDeleteSo were you using "cancer" metaphorically or something?
Overall, I understand what you were trying to say in your blog, but it was not easy to follow. The way your senteces were structured was a bit confusing. For example, "Those who are abuser use the fear, low- self esteem that the person they are abusing to keep them down and make them feel worthless and that no one else wants them."
And I agree with LaurenKelli, it is not that easy to just get out of an abusive relationship. That is like telling someone who has been a smoker all their life to just stop one day. It takes help, time, adjustment and a number of other factors.
http://hubpages.com/hub/How_to_Get_Out_of_an_Abusive_Relationship details that it takes planning and help from others to just leave an abusive relationship.
