No, not at deposition if the victim opposes. But the accused abuser may request to watch the recorded deposition or monitor through video at real time.
Usually men are the abuser and women are the victims (Of course not ALL of the time, but usually)
To the abuser, his victims are mere instruments of gratification, objects to be exploited, drained and discarded, emotionally, sexually, and financially.
It is mainly due to fear and shame, as usually the abuser are related to the girl and get their confidence .
No, not all abusers come after their victims who testify against them, but it depends solely on the individual. An abuser who excessively violent may well come after the victim, while an verbal abuser may have learned their lesson while in prison. If one knows the person is violent or made threats after they testified then go to the police when you find out when the abuser will be getting out of prison.
The opposing lawyer in a divorce case has the legal right to take your deposition. You'll will be answering questions under oath. The questions and answers will be recorded by a court reporter. When the deposition is over, you will be told you have the right to review a typed copy of the deposition and you will be asked if you want to waive that right.
If you are threatened during a deposition that could be an action that requires police involvement. You have the right to allow a victim advocate in depositions with you. This is usually the best option. I would contact a victims advocate service. get advice from Atway & Cochran Attorneys at Law LLC 19 E Front St, Youngstown, OH - (330) 743-6300
The love turns to hate because the reality of what the abuser did sets in. Speaking as a victim of abuse, I don't think I could ever love my abuser again even if he said he's "changed" because of the reality of what he did to me, and the claims that he "changed" so many previous times during the abuse.
Right after weathering and erosion
There are the warning signs and red flags. A abuser does not consider himself to be an abuser; therefore he does not see others as victims, rather as a sourse of narcissitic supply. It is more important to monitor the responses in yourself and have a strong sense of what is acceptable behaviour in another person.
* Most victims of abuse just want to leave with the clothes on their back and are not worried about leaving their abuser penniless. The abuser has taken everything from their victim ... their dignity; peace of mind; brain washed them into believing no other man would want them and they are useless and will never make it out in the world on their own; alienated them from their family and friends and controlled all money issues in the relationship. If there are children involved then the best you can hope for is child support and that would have to go through the courts. Victims of abuse generally want no part of their abuser and will do anything to stay completely away. The victim should seek help from Women's Abuse Centers to find a 'safe place' until they can get on their feet. These centers give moral support; programs about victims of abuse; go to court with them; help with any children the victim may have and help them find a job. If you are smart you'll head out the door and never look back and not look for revenge because the abuser always loses in the end ... they hang themselves with their own rope.
It is OK to expose the person that uses abuse to control their victim, but it is the victim that has to report their abuser. Like any abuser whether narcissistic or has a large ego others do see these flaws in the abuser, but in many cases the victim at the beginning (unaware) often refuses to believe what others have to say about their abuser until the victim finds out the hard way. Many victims can feel ashamed or angry that it took them so long to figure out that the person they loved is an abuser, but abusers are extremely sly when it comes to luring their victims into their web. There is not much you can do about the abuser if you have left him, but you should get help from an Abused Woman's Center or a psychologist to learn the signs of abusive behavior so you do not make the same mistake twice. There are often small signs from an abuser from the beginning such as perhaps telling you what to wear; order your meals at restaurants and then slowly they alienate you from your family and friends. Then the abuser has you under their complete control and that is when the victim sees the ugly side of their abuser. You can tell anyone you like what the abuser is like and some will believe you and others will not or you can move forward in your life and realize you have learned from the bad relationship and will not make the same mistake again. Generally abusers will be caught at their own game.
From my experience yet. This is apart of the guilt process. The abuser wants to make their victims feel that it is his/her fault that the abuse accured and if he/she hadn't done something or had done something better it would have never accured. The abuser will never take accountability for the poor choices he or she made.
