It's hard to believe, but there are so many people that just don't understand abuse. At one time I knew about abuse and I helped a couple of my girlfriends get out of abusive relationships, but I didn't actually witness it. Then I volunteered for the Abused Women's Center" and had my eyes really opened. It's an experience I am so glad I went through although it ripped my heart out at the same time. Sometimes we have to see the ugly side of life to really get to the core of problems. We can talk about it, even with those that suffer from certain situations, but until you see it with your own eyes and get involved then a person knows nothing. No! It's not normal for friends or family to think that you, as a victim of abuse is just out to get your abuser. If they were educated in abuse they would realize that most of the time the victim is terrified of her abuser, becomes subservient, withdrawn, lacks confidence and doesn't want to wake up the sleeping dragon (tick the abuser off in other words.) Of course you want your feelings validated. Why not! You've been either mentally/physically (or both) abused. Like small children's voices in the wind .... who will listen? Well, the "Abused Women's Center" does. You DON'T NEED VALIDATION FROM ANYONE! When you can, pack a bag and head for that Abused Women's Center in your area. Tell NO ONE where you are. They will put you in a "safe house" or "transition house" and keep you safe, get you on your feet, and, if need be help you with legal counsel. Hon, listen to your inner self. If you are being abused, then you know it! Run when you can. Don't listen to those that aren't there for you and move on from the whole mess. It isn't that family and friends don't care, but perhaps they simply don't understand that abuse is abuse and slapping, shoving, putting a person down is actually abuse. Rule of thumb to go by ... "When someone makes you feel bad 100% of the time it's time to leave them behind!" Good luck Marcy

What was the year when Aeneas left Troy?
There is no definitive answer to this. Scholars (mostly) agree that the Trojan War dates from the end of the Mycenaean civilisation, around 1200BC. I can't give you a specific year, but you can safely assume that Aeneas left Troy for Italia in the 1200s.
First off, by leaving, you are removed from immediate danger of being physically hurt, or even killed, by your abuser. You may feel you know the person who abuses you well, you may feel that he would never take a weapon to you or attempt to kill you. Unfortunately, you cannot always predict an escalation in abuse. It is true that there are cases requiring a restraining order or order or protection to keep yourself legally safe from an individual, even if you have moved. However, while the abuser may be intitially more threatening or manipulative (begging for forgiveness, promises to stop the abuse, go to counseling, etc.), he may tire or resent trying to get control over you and decide to move on to another victim, especially if there is some amount of physical distance between you and him.

What problems did the Greeks have during the battle of Troy?
The Greek expedition was a looting one. A rich trading city like Troy was their primary target, but without a siege train they could not breach the walls, and they did not even have the resources to lay siege and starve it out.
So after their initial assault failed, they went off looting the eastern Mediterranean coast for the next nine years.
After they had taken the best pickings, they returned in the 10th year for the richest prize - another attempt on Troy. Again they failed to capture the city, and the legend says that they got a party inside the city wall by the wooden horse ruse, opened the gates and captured the city.
Where can you find information about the battle at Troy?
Concerning the story, the information on the war and its battles is found in the book " the Iliad" written by Homer. Concerning the historic facts, there was never any conclusive evidence that the war ever actually happened. Archaeologist digging at the site usually assumed to be the site of historic Troy found a number of city remnants built on top of each other over the ages; one of them showing signs of battle and fire. But it is unknown if those remnants really represent Homer's Troy.
