About Domestic Violence
Domestic violence can turn deadly at the drop of a hat, it's strange
cycles of kindness and hate, doting love and domination, can
confuse an individual's ability to realistically assess danger.
Living in a domestic violent situation, things can go smoothly
sometimes for a long while, until a moment in time when the bow
breaks, and a once pleasant home turns into a war zone of physical
violence. A victim may have a lot of courage to accept beatings and
at the same time have an enormous amount of fear, but like a trapped
animal, a victim can also be pushed beyond capacity and attack the
batterer. Choosing to live in a domestic violent situation without
counseling or support can ruin the lives of all involved.
Why do so many victims of domestic violence
love the batterer and keep going back?When two or more individuals experience intense
trauma together, on a subconscious level they bond with each other,
this phenomenon is also known to occur in hostage situations. Many
victims of domestic violence are also survivors of child abuse, and
are passively repeating old familiar negative abuse patterns on themselves.
Why do batterers beat the ones they love?
Many batterers are survivors of child abuse, one study out of California
showed male toddlers as young as 2, when exposed to domestic violence
repeated the behavior as adults. Typically batterers hate themselves and
hate the pain they inflict on others, and struggle with their destructive
outbursts they cannot control without proper counseling and treatment.
