  • The victim has no power or they would not be abused. The abuser always has the control. Children and the elderly are victimized often in society as well as men and women. The abuser will start out by abusing psychologically and 'put down' their victim until they leave their victim confused with no self confidence. The abuser may threaten to leave their victim (this is terrifying to the elderly); leave the wife and take the children; talk of killing the victim or anyone that is close to them. The abuser often isolates their victim so their victim has no family or friends to turn too and they have to suffer in silence and depend on their abuser.

The relationship between gender and power are relative in the sense that gender is manifested by God to be equal in terms of values however power is just manifested by man,s selfishness that they thought they are more sloe power than woman.

Why do abuse victims seek approval from the abuser and does the abuser use this as a power play?

The abuser is always about control and as he/she leads his/her victim into his/her web of deceit and uncertainty he/she brain-washes his/her victim. To control her/his he/she must make her/his believe (through crafty brain-washing) that she/he is useless, can't get through life without him, is possibly ugly, too fat or too thin, a rotten mother/father, a rotten cook, can't do anything right and just plain dumb! Of course this is not true about most women/men, but if any of us were to hear this enough times in years to come we would certainly begin to believe it. After all, the abuser controls the victim's whole life so many victims have the freedom to interact with friends or sometimes even their families and she/he has no one to talk too. Either that, or she/he is too embarrassed to talk about it and fears no one would believe her. The victim has nowhere to go, and she/he believes her/his abuser and is fearful of him, so she/he complies the best way she/he can to be ALL things to him and try to please him in any way possible, and that NEVER happens. No matter how hard she/he tries he/she will never be happy with what she/he says or does. He/she doesn't want too! The only way a victim can be free and begin to gain their self respect, dignity and stand on their own two feet is if they have the strength to seek help from an abuse center where she/he will get counseling, and also sent onto a Transition House or "Safe House" to be protected from her/his abuser. She/he will be given legal counsel to go to court (especially if there are children involved) and she/he must take the programs offered to her/his so she/he will not go back to her/his abuser or pick another abusive mate. We are all under the illusion that why would a woman/man that has been mentally/physically abused ever go back to an abuser or pick another abusive partner, but the truth is, unless the victim knows where to go for help she/he is wading up to her/his neck (a feeling of drowning) because she/he has had all her/his self confidence stripped from her. She/he doesn't feel she/he can handle living on her/his own and often thinks no one would want to hire her. Perhaps she/he has no prior working experience or hasn't worked for a long time, because abusers like their victims close by and try to strip them of all their freedom. Abusers are actually very weak and spineless wonders. They have come from an environment (growing up in an abusive family) or they have become abusive during their adult life from some experience such as losing a job, a woman/man jilting him previously, etc. Some men are plain mean to the bone and have no real excuse. They are to be pitied because they will never have a good relationship because they seldom seek psychiatric help for their problem because they have the attitude they are just fine and everyone else is at fault. Abusers are spineless wonders because they would rather pick on the weak such as, children, elderly, pets, or those mentally or physically unable, but would never stand up for themselves confronted by a person capable to protect herself/hisself. Remember hon, you are in control of your destiny and NO ONE can make you do anything unless you let them. Marcy

How people who harm and abuse individuals conceal what is happening?

To conceal it well, they need to have power over victim. To gain this power they spend quite a while in early stages of relationship convincing victim they are all they have and are dependant on them. Threats are common, they instill fear in the victim. Because the victim feels love for the person and believes they have noone else, they do what they are told and even help to conceal the abuse themselves. Its a mind game. I know this. I was a victim. So if you think someone is being abused, they most likely are, but will not admit it because of fear. They will even defend the abuser.


Relationship between language and power?

Language is a tool that can be used to assert power dynamics in society. The dominant group often sets the standards for language use, which can marginalize other groups. Control over language allows for the shaping of narratives, shaping people's perceptions, and maintaining power structures. Power can also dictate whose language is centered and valued in a given context.


What is the relationship between language and power?

Language and power are closely intertwined as language can be used to shape, influence, and maintain power dynamics. Those who control language can control narratives, shape perceptions, and influence how individuals think and behave. Language can also be used as a tool for empowerment, resistance, and liberation by marginalised groups to challenge existing power structures.


How should a victim deal with an abuser who makes sure that he or she is in the room while the abuser reads questions from this abuse FAQ with a sadistic grin and then makes you pay?

If you allow someone to monitor your activities that closely, you need to seek help. Many times the only way to break the hold of submissiveness is to leave the relationship and relocate. A sadist only has the power over you that you grant him. Otherwise, he would soon face criminal charges and/or restraining orders.


Should Children of verbally abused mom expect apology from boyfriend?

For anyone who is the victim of abuse to expect that they would have an apology would be a terrible injustice to the victim. It would put power into the hands of the abuser again. It wouldn't be fair to the victim to expect an apology. Not only in this case but in most cases an apology shouldn't be expected.

Is it normal for a victim to still read abuse books or websites when things are going well so that he or she can stay one step ahead of the abuser?

Of course, though if you're still having to stay one step ahead of the abuser, then things probably aren't going that well. An abusive relationship has highs and lows, calm periods and periods of active abuse. But it's still an abusive relationship. If you're in such a relationship, talk to a professional. They're there to help you find alternatives, whether it's healing the relationship or helping you take back your own life. Yes but you eventually wont be able to keep up. The only way to stay one step ahead of him for good is to leave. Remove yourself from him and he has lost all power.

Can a spouse abuser be rehabilitated?

I am no expert on this, or anything else, for that matter, but I would suspect the answer is no. Spousal abuse is like any other form of bullying; it is a power game. The abuser has no respect for the abused person; there is no love in the relationship. NO!!! And if he tells you he is, he isn't. Don't believe it. Get out and get a real man that doesn't need to use his fist. You are better than that.
