No, because if they are still being abusive, they see the world from another perspective. If you are expecting that this will happen or that you can convince someone that they are abusive, chances are that you won't see it happen. About all you can do is to call them on their behavior, saying how it makes you feel. A good book is Patricia Evan's The Abusive Relationship.

Why do you think some people do not want to help people they know in an abusive relationship?

One reason may be is that they don't know how to help. Another reason may be they are afraid to help. The power that an abuser has over the abused is frightening, both emotionally and physically. It is not unheard of that an abusive relationship can end in murder. Often times the abused person has been brainwashed into thinking they don't deserve anything better. Or they know they need help, but are too afraid to ask for it. There are professional organizations that are trained to help people get out of abusive relationships. They will offer a safe place to stay, counseling and the tools to start their life over. The abused person is the only one who can make positive steps to leave an abusive relationship. The best that family and friends can do is support that decision.


How can people to get others to understand that all help or advice you didn't ask for first is abusive and disrespectful?

Most advices are not meant to be disrespectful and abusive. People who like to give advice are often of especially caring nature. For me, the best way to understand such help and advice is to think of this, and be grateful that someone cares about me.

Why do women seek out abusive men and what makes a man abusive?

Many times, women don't "seek out" abusive men necessarily, but women are often attracted to "bad" boys, and that is just the way it is, no reason for it. And of course those bad boys could end of being highly abusive. Men are abusive when they control everything in a their parter's life. There is physical abuse, and emotional abuse, and many other types. If you ever feel threatened or unsafe, that could be a sign of abuse and you have to get out of that relationship immediately before it becomes something you'll regret. Your "man" WILL ask for you back, but you just have to stay strong and listen to your heart!

What should an abuse victim do if they feel their abuser will just make their life even worse if they attempt to leave?

Don't give up hon! There is help out there for you. I volunteer for a Women's Abuse Center, and when your abuser is at work, you leave with just a few things and go to the Abused Women's Center. They will ask you questions (don't be ashamed and don't be afraid to let it all hang out ... that's what the kleenex on the counselor's desk is for.) They will put you through a process right away and you will NOT go back to your abuser, but be put in a "Safe House" or "Transition House." There you will receive counseling, help in courts, and programs to take so you can better understand abuse and learn new tools to deal with leaving your abuser and not picking another abusive mate. Shoot for the stars girl! You're worth it! Good luck Marcy

Is it abusive to promote hostility toward an abuser?

Sometimes the victim has so much rage towards their abuser they lash out in sneaky ways to get back at their abuser. It's not only dangerous, but sheer stupidity. If the victim has that much energy they should be using it more wisely by getting out of the relationship and seeking help from an Abused Women's Center or, if a male, go to Mental Health and find the program for Abused husbands. The victim will almost always lose in the struggle and if you promote hostility the whole scene could turn ugly one night. Ask yourself if you would enjoy seeing yourself or someone you love in the hospital or worse yet, in a body bag. Happy New Year Marcy

What does a counselor ask a battered woman?

A councellor doesn't ask, a councellor listens! If they ask for help in moving away from their abuser, phone numbers and addresses of womens refuges would be handy to have, and of course if agreed police involvement.
