The best thing that family can do for a substance abuser is stage an intervention. Once that intervention has been staged, present the abuser with the opportunity to go to rehab.

What do you call a person who helps an addict get their fix?

A person who helps addicts get their fixes is called an enabler. They help the addict to stay an addict. But anyone who nags regularly at an addict can also be seen as an enabler. They are taking responsibility for the substance abuser's life, thus preventing the substance abuser from needing to grow or change. There is always someone there like a mother figure to clean up their messes and fix things for them.

What should you do when the police know about your abuser yet the police officer covers him and your family wants to keep silent?

If you live in another county or town then go further away and retain a lawyer to see what your rights are. Be prepared to pack your things when your abuser is not around and find out where the closest Women's Shelter is wherever you decide to go. You should discuss this with other family members because they are obviously nervous that the abuser or the police officer could make trouble for them. If you live in a large city then go to another district of the city and retain a lawyer.

After being in a verbally abusive relationship does the victim often become the abuser in her next relationship?

It does often happen that people will learn how to get their way through verbal aggression, from their own experiences of being verbally abused. Life is an endless learning experience, but sometimes people learn the wrong things. Answer I think it COULD happen but I think it would be the exception and not the rule. Victims in these kinds of situations are usually not abusive types of people - that's why they are victims. If it is an adult who grew up in a verbally abusive environment they may be the victim for a while and then finally snap and turn the tables and become the abuser but I think in most circumstances the victim would not become the abuser in the next relationship.

How do you fix an abusive marriage with a military cop?

No matter who the abuser is, you must leave the relationship. I think you already know that. Tell the police, or go to a local women shelter. Friends and family, no matter what they say, they want to help you, but I'm not going to lie, some families don't understand the troubles you are going through so if that fails contact authorities, with no relation to your husband. No matter what your husband says he will not stop abusing you. Also, if you have children with your abuser, it is 60% likey that a young boy will grow up to become an abuser himself, and i think around 40-50% chance of a young girl to become abused. I know you wouldn't want that for your children so please try to leave, and no matter what this is not a normal relationship, and you can't do this alone, someone out there will help, friends family officers, or a complete stranger on the computer... wink wink.. lol.. GOOD LUCK be safe. PS DON"T STOP TRYING TO LEAVE!! It will be hard, but in the long run you deserve better, and things will get better!!!
