RECOMMENDED TO YOU -- A True Madness: Schizophrenia (Mental Illness Documentary) kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJmK16uDZ8XfaZM.html

I'm 73 and am so happily single. Had my share of abusive men. They are soul takers if you don't leave. Drove away with a tank of gas, 17 cents in my pocket and 3 yr.old. son. This is back in 1984. Found a live in Nanny job. Saved up and got my own place, a better paying job and never looked back. Leaving taught me to be creative and self assured. Nobody takes better care of me and my children than me. My son is now 42 and a Paramedic / fireman. Ladys don't just walk away...Run

Yep, there you have it, 1984, the beloved 80s. The birth year of Domestic and child abuse.

I had left my husband and then he lured me back to retain some important documents……. As soon as I entered the house he jumped on me and put me to the ground holding a large machete to my neck threatening to cut off my head! My friends waiting in the car drove to a phone…as this happened in the early 80’s……called the cops. Two cops showed up at the opened front door looking at us and witnessing the whole scene….ask him to drop the machete….which he did….then asked me to leave and did nothing to him!!! I left and never went back….he shot himself in his head a few years later. Im still alive and living my best life.

I do wish they went into the things we know about abuse, the process of isolation being so important and if you notice it to be more aware. Also, if you experienced abuse, of any kind, you're more likely to be in an abusive relationship. Abusers, whether intentionally or not, look for characteristics in their partners that make their abuse a foregone conclusion and much harder to escape.

I went through this horrible traumatic violence in my marriage we had 2 son's; I was young; what gave me courage is I didn't want my son's growing up thinking it was ok; or worse they probably would have killed their dad. 1st I had to have a plan; I had to go in hiding with my son's to have him served; we heard on the scanner it took 6 cops to serve him; he told them a piece of paper wasn't going to keep him away. I'm 54yrs old now our son's are 38 and 35. I forgave him and we have communication now we get along; he understands he beat me out of his life; he was an alcoholic; he no longer drinks. I wished back then they'd help families; instead of keep families apart. P.S. I'm single it's too scary to find a significant other; I always opened my heart but but men abuse me. I'm a strong willed woman and I can't seem to find a man who respects me. I have Jesus

I know a great lady & her 2 boy's seeing her mistreated sets an awful example

My ex is a covert narcissist. Charming in public (most times) and behind closed doors, he punched _everything._ He once had us sell a metal cargo trailer that was RIDDLED with his knuckle marks/intentions all over it. He didn't care. No shame. Our store had fist marks in the walls, so did our house. He broke my car horn from punching the steering wheel so much. Road raging to where I'd be crying my eyes out, praying we wouldn't die and he couldn't give a crap. My tears made him more angry! Yes, he'd Hoover me back with tears, cards, flowers, promises that he'd change, he'd do better, but every single time I chose to stay, he got *worse.* Before I left he was throwing things at the wall next to me when my back was turned in order to walk out and leave. He wanted an audience to his rage. It made him feel powerful. He is a small minded, tiny pee-pee, weak, afraid man child who cross dresses and needs to be humiliated to get his rocks off. He is sick and I feel bad for him...but not enough to stay. Staying was enabling his abuse. Men & Women victims/survivors: You are worth leaving and getting out! You are worth being with someone who loves you, who sees you, who accepts you, who protects you, who is on your team, who builds you up, who DELIGHTS in you and loves you more than their own life and who'd DIE if they _ever_ scared you!!!! Educate yourselves on the cycle of abuse, the red flags to look for in the beginning, work on yourself until you truly LOVE who you are and would never, EVER let anyone disrespect you in any way. Abusers hate people with self esteem, boundaries and self respect. They will run from you! They have a radar for people who have low self esteem, who are too kind and enable and minimize disrespect, who don't like themselves.... Fantastic books: •The Human Magnet Syndrome •Healing From Hidden Abuse •Why Does He Do That? •Is It Me? •The Life Saving Divorce •Exposing Financial Abuse •The Emotionally Destructive Marriage •When The Body Says No •Why Does He Do That? •Ugly Love •The Covert Passive Aggressive Narcissist •Men who hate Women and the women who love them •Boundaries (Henry Cloud & Townsend) •Safe People Please seek help, there are many people out here who are survivors and throwers who can help!

The cross dressing is a BIG red flag, one that I've heard many times in survivor stories... Nowadays a lot of the cross dressing abusers will "transition", and some of them will be allowed access into women's shelters...

That counselor in the anger management group was so amazing!!

I am a survivor. My grandmother was an adulterer and a prostitute, my mother was abused by her and then married my father, an alcoholic violent abuser of mom and all of us kids, raping my oldest brother for 10+ years. I never knew comfort or trust and married an abuser. I am not married now. What to do with all this damage? My involvement with any person is ALWAYS limited. I want to protect my heart and am very suspicious. and naturally defensive. I protect me. Any healing did not come through education (not available) or kindly interference (GO BACK! HE IS WONDERFUL! YOU ARE CRAZY!) So here's a woman of 3 generations of crap. Progress is slow.

Yes progress is slow. After 22 years I moved away. Five years since I moved and I am still breaking it off. Hard! Isolated without a job or friends. I think we have to move beyond being shut in s and try doing new things with having rules and set boundaries, so we we don't go back because of trauma. Perfectly understable that we are this way. I'm ready for a job, doing exercises, doing Art, goals about health. I think we might start attracting other positive people. Powerful Positive Affirmations ❤

Went to a shelter with my 10 year old son. They turned me away cause he was a male and top old and would intimidate the smaller children. I returned home . I nearly lost my life many times over.

My grandmother was in an abusive relationship with my mothers father for years she finally found the courage to leave him but it came at a price he took my mother from her and never saw her again

This happened to me, he hit me than stood over me and his eyes were black. He told me I can’t be stubborn and that I had to obey him so nothing bad would happen to me.

My abuser came home after attending his court ordered domestic violence classes and he'd rage on me. Screaming name calling saying the class knows exactly how you are. You're going to send me to prison, ect. It didnt help him not one bit. Second time ordered also after his second time to jail after beating me.

The is the best program I’ve seen on domestic violence. I believe many women don’t report it and the true statistics may be much higher. I’m saving this video in the event I come across someone who needs this information. MISOGYNY is at the root of the cause of the battering.- what an eye opener. Fixing the batterer is key- I’ve never heard that approach before. I wonder if they have ever tried psychiatric evaluation in the event that medication could be given to these men. Could they have an underlying mental health disorder? Yours is a phenomenal program!❤❤❤

Thank you so much for bravely telling your stories 🤍

What year is this from?

Physical abuse comes in all forms..It is not always obvious. Such as a black eye.

So my cousin had me take her to file for a protection order and why on earth is it repeatedly stated that filer can at any time ask for order to be dismissed or that they have the option when at the initial court appearance to request it be dropped. Wtf. This is not helpful. It’s a hard enough situation then to give the person the power to back out and their abuser knows all this and so then it’s their fault. When the cycle circles and physical abuse has occurred or whatever the case there’s a very small window for the abused to file this order and feel halfway ok doing it. But by the time the perpetrator gets served and they go to court the victim has lost a lot of the power dynamic again. It’s complicated but I do not agree with the layout of protection orders. When the court could take some of the load off the victim they should. Once an order is filed that’s that.

As a toddler to grade school I saw My parents beat each other this was in thee year of 1960 I'd tried to stop them but then I'd just hide wherever I could till neighbors would call the police they would find me bring me to whoever could take me till I can go back tou mom Iostly lived with others till I was 16 & made something of myself I got an education a job own apartment I stop the cycle I was strong enough as a child in to survive the universe is my only family

It's not only women but men as well that go through this. There can be many factors as to why they allow it to happen, especially when children are involved. Dunno if you have paid attention but women can't simply leave the relationship as they get threatened death by their spouse if they do. Majority of times it ends up in homicide. Sometimes women allow it to happen because of a toxic notion that it's their fault that men loose their temper and hence hurt them.

Nobody is allowing it. They are physically stronger than us and everyone knows it. When you have children you have to come up with an escape plan considering the children. Not so easy.

Life is a previlidged chance one has, and it is autonomous there is no after life or eternal life. Humans are the Life form. Both men and women have the same right to live as they want to . No one has the right to black mail another on behalf of any imbalance.

Don't forget that this is not just an issue with men, but an issue with people. One thing which many documentaries like this one leaves out, is that domestic abuse VERY often takes placs in a mutually toxic relationship. Often with both partners abusing each other physically. Often with one physical abuser, and one mental, verbal, and emotional abuser, who eggs them on purposefully and relentlessly.
