Because they can’t take action
You can't share premises with a physically violent abuser (batterer) and avoid harm altogether. You can either confront him (usually involving the police and the courts), succumb to his demands (short term, inefficient, and counterproductive solution), or contract with him (which works intermittently). Get items that cannot be replaced (photos, heirlooms, cherished Christmas ornaments, anything with sentimental value) out of the house and into either a storage unit or a friend or relative's house. This will take away much of the emotional involved in N's threats to destroy these items and help you focus on YOU and your own safety during confrontation. Keep a cell phone charged and on your person at all times when home with the N. Get a voice activated mini-recorder. Use it when N rages, and at least let N see that you have it. Mention (lie if you have to) that the last time he threatened to "[repeat some threat N made to harm you]" you got it on tape and will not hesitate to call the police and have him removed from the house should he get out of line. The answers to this question vary as much as the degrees of the abuser's feeling of safety in doing harm or the depth of his fear. I am presently involved in this situation. Mr.B.'s fear is that society will learn he is not the man he portrays himself to be in the public eye. While I was submissive and tried for years to explain the effect his behavior had on me, now, I'm verbally combative any time he attempts to get my attention. I try to keep him confused and off-balance. He doesn't know the "safe" approach. He is confused about this new person and he fears that I'll focus the public eye on the reasons for my exit. Where I contributed to his N supply before, today I focus on diminishing his power in exactly the opposite way, in order to make the experience so totally in contrasting opposition to my normal behavior, that he has become very wary of what I might say next...or to whom. He's in unfamiliar territory. He suspects I may be capable of emulating his behavior back at him. As long as he is confused and unsure of his own safety, my bluff keeps him away from me. It's a downhome bluffing remedy. Baffle them and keep them off guard until you get out the door. Intimate exposure of their true self without directly stating a threat...which would foster competition and a real battle. I am challenging his bravado and depending on his real cowardice to get me through the next few weeks. So far, it's working to my advantage.
When the Founding Fathers were deciding on a system to regulate U.S. measurements, the default was to use the British Imperial System, as they were subjects of the British Empire. However, the U.S. was very close to adopting the metric system, which was conceived by the French in 1790. But ultimately, Thomas Jefferson, then secretary of state, decided against it. According to Time magazine, “His beef was that the meter was conceived as a portion of a survey of France, which could only be measured in French territory.” After studying the various units of measurements used across the United States, John Quincy Adams upheld this decision 1821, deciding that the U.S. Customary System was sufficient.
Bravado is the act of bravery. Ex: The superhero showed great bravado by going into the burning building.
Bravado is a pretence of courage, a false show of bravery.
Lance Bravado was born on 1985-09-16.
The Bravado bra is special because it is designed specially for women who have just given birth. The Bravado bra is a nursing bra and provides for the special needs of nursing women.
Most stores or retail sites that sell nursing bras carry the Bravado brand. If you can't find them locally, they can also be purchased directly through Bravado Designs.
