Domestic abuse should never happen, but it does and the person being abused often doesn’t even realise how much help is out there for them. No one deserves to be abused by their partner and no one should ever have to put up with it for any reason. There are many agencies out there including Haven the women’s refuge.
All that we need to do is raise awareness of this support to help get people out of the cycle of abuse.
Domestic abuse can come in more forms than violence; women are mentally abused, emotionally abused and sexually abused. If it is wrong for someone to be abused by a stranger what makes it right or okay for our partners to do so??
What reasons can you think of?
To feel like the dominant person in the relationship?
Because you were drunk and couldn’t control what you were doing?
You was angry and needed to let your anger out?
Sorry but none of these reasons can justify somebody stooping so low, there is no excuse. One thing that really annoys me is when women are being abused and they can easily escape it all because they have the support from family and friends, yet they choose to stay in the relationship and continue to be abused. And often it is because “He said his sorry and won’t do it again, because he loves me”. But i personally think if his done it once he will do it again because he knows he will get away with it.
Women shouldn’t give them the opportunity, yet they continue to do so.
Break the silence!
Get out while you can!

i think its horrible the way some men treat women and the fact that they can raise a hand towards a women discusts me!
ReplyDeletebut alot of women suffer in silence and endure the pain! The Rihanna and Chris Brown incident is a good exmaple of domestic abuse.
