Do women who appear depressed and worthless on talk shows where the topic is abuse deep down feel that it is easier to feel that way than to show strength thus starting another fight?

Don't ever underestimate an abused women. They are not weak! Until one has walked a mile in their shoes none of us have the right to ever consider they are stupid or weak.It isn't as simple as walking out the door on your abuser.

I suggest you read the "Teresa Suldana" story. She was an aspiring actress and left her abusive URL2 make a long story short he followed her and before a crowd of people in broad daylight stabbed her over 19 times! If it weren't for a male jogger going by and tackling the abuser, she wouldn't have survived her wounds.

The fear abusers can instill in their victims is horrendous. They are constantly looking over their shoulder, afraid of conflict even when they have family or friends around for support because they have to go home with their abuser and suffer the consequences. There are numerous women in prison for killing their mate, and as far as I'm concerned they should be released!

In fact, some are Abused women are depressed. They have been brain-washed and had their self confidence and dignity totally stripped from them What is the point of fighting with your abuser? Trust me when I say, if a woman, you won't win and you'll get the beating of your life or, the silent treatment that also reflects on the children as well (if there are any.

) Sometimes the silence is the worst because the abuser is like a time bomb waiting to go off I volunteer for an Abused Women's Center and I admire these women a great deal. I've been to the hospital and seen some pretty terrible sights. Women who have had their throats actually cut (but thank God, they survived); blackened eyes, teeth missing, bones in their face crushed, not to mention ribs, arms, legs, etc. , and that includes children and the elderly Believe it or not there are a lot of men out there that are mentally and physically abused by their mates.

Good men are brought up to not hit women and thus, an abusive woman can either brain-wash him into thinking he's useless, or she can kick, throw things at him, scratch, bite, and cause all sorts of problems for him at work. Men, in a way have it worse because how do you talk to your buddies and say, "I'm abused by my wife. " Men are considered the stronger sex.So, the poor guy remains silent.

There is help out there for them as well Merry Christmas Marcy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
