Once, I had a customer that was a psychiatrist, I asked him to define "normal" to me. He laughed and began rattling off depression symptoms. I told him I knew all that...but what is "NORMAL"?
I was joking when I asked this question, I assume there isnt really anything normal in the world anymore.
Today, when I was going to a friends house, I saw a wooden hand painted sign on a house fence. It read..."No trespassing. Violators will be procescuted. Mind your own business. She is married."
Yes, I found this very abnormal! I guess the neighbors knew what it means. But my mind was running through how many possible sceniors this could be? Maybe she had a boyfriend that would come visit when the husband was working? Maybe it was domestic abuse? She is married, his property, so he could do anything he wants to her? Does he think this sign will save him from legal issues? My friend told me, she was beating his truck with a shovel one day when he was leaving.
I was told about a woman this weekend that was getting back with an abusive boyfriend. She had said it was over, he slapped her and blackened her eye. Before this, he had grabbed her and broke her thumb.
I am working with a woman that was badly beaten and had a protective order against the now exboyfriend. The day the order expired, she sees him riding by her house. Now she is terrified again and wants to buy a gun.
Ladies....a man that will push you...WILL end up hitting you! End that relationship immediately. The longer you stay, the worse things will get. The longer you stay, the more power you give to this type of man.
They always end up apologizing, buying you things as a peace offering, making you cell phone payment, rent, power or something. Then they tell you how it was YOUR fault, you should not have done something.
This is not love. Its all about control. Never sell yourself short for a wimp of a man that has to beat a woman. That isnt a a real man.

Then they tell you how it was YOUR fault
First of all, domestic violence victims blame themselves. They are forced into believing the abuse IS their fault. It is NOT their fault. It is the fault of the abuser: Someone who does not want to accept responsibility for their actions. They want to place the blame where it does not belong. On SOMEONE ELSE! They think it is okay to punch, kick, shove, slap, pull hair, or any other act of violence. Ohio, the state I live in, has strict laws about domestic violence. No BS allowed. Do it once, you are in jail. They don't care if the victim wants to press charges or not! The STATE will press charges! There should be stricter laws about abuse. Then maybe these morons would be in jail, where they belong!

Sounds to me like SHE was the abuser, not him.

i do not disagree with your specific P O V. but there are many other faults we have that are worthy of comment. cigarettes, cigars, tiparillo? LOL do you know a nurse or a dr that smokes? what is the ratio of fat nurses to skinny nurses? do you know an educated person that cannot help but shove a big ole fat pork chop in their mouth? if it isn't good for you just walk away. there is an enormous amount of good out there. at least enuff to equal the bad. but, where do we as judges draw the line? should it be when they turn back to evil and of course refuse help? it is worth the effort to argue with kids but when they are grown up and have bumped their head a few times, logic implies enuff is enuff. offer your help to those that ask, offer your help to those that seek, offer your help to those that knock. lead, do not push. we be jammin
