Verbal Abuse & Myths of Abuse

The Myths are real in our world, because of media, old beliefs,
What do I think about when we say MYTHs of Abuse
Ideas people have from there beliefs
Generational ideas, handed down from the men in the family or women
Only happens to poor people
Abuse is a private matter
Stays within the family-the isolation,the contol of the abuser
There is no accountablility for the abuser.
What goes on behind closed doors should stay there
No use helping an abused women "she will only go back" people don't know how scary it is leaving a abusive man, how will she pay to take care of the babies.
Self Esteem is beat down, she may have been told for years that she is stupid, she does nothing right, the rules always change,
If I could do things better and right way, he would quit being so mad. "Will never happen""
Children need there Father no matter how abusive the bastard is.
The kids might be upset when you leave, but will be happy when you settle into your new safe life, where you can all smile and laugh!! It is GREAT..

And the worst and saddest thing is, WE have hope that this man we thought we loved, will CHANGE, the man that would take care of us, love us, and we would feel safe with.
Is the man we have to fear every minute of our day, and our beautiful kids have to fear also. How sad is that.
