Is it common for an abuse victim to inadvertantly develop the same attitudes as the abuser when in reality the victim has had enough and is fighting to preserve their rights and boundaries?

No it's not common. Usually women that are in physically abusive relationships walk in fear every day. Their heart is in their throat the minute their mate walks through that door because it's like walking on broken glass around him. The abuser has their victim so brain-washed she doesn't know what to do or where to go for help and often is too embarrassed to go for help. The abuser will keep her ignorant to many facts in life such as the law and also that there are good programs and much help out there for abused women. The abuser knows this! If a woman can play the same abusive game back to her mate then she isn't that physically abused, because men are simply stronger than women and he knows he has the power. If this person is mentally abused and it's one fight after the other, then why would anyone want to stay in this sort of relationship just to prove a point or out of pride. There are no rights or boundaries in this situation. There is a game we must all play in life and it's called trust, honesty, respect, love and being there as each other's best friends and not just as lovers. A relationship should never be a war zone. Marriage and life in general is simply a pawn game for all of us and abuse is unacceptable in a relationship and adds more stress to our lives. Women and men alike have the freedom, and the mind and strength to move away from anything that is not conducive or destructive to their lives. There are simply no excuses. If you or anyone you know is abused then take that risk and reach out and touch someone (Mental Health or one of the Abused Women's Centers in your area.) Aim for "flying free!" Good luck Marcy Becoming like an abuser from a victim's point of view isn't the same. An abuser has their own reality and you can't penetrate that. Best to see if you can both get to a therapist and figure out how to manage coexistence by empowering each person. Perhaps it is more a passage in the relationship where you both need to readjust. I notice this more around 17 to 20 years into the relationship and/or when the partners reach their forties. Just need a new deal instead of a vicious cycle of trying to one-up one another. Now, if it is abuse and the issue is a taboo subject, that may be a dealbreaker in continuing the relationship.

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 can a victim leave an abuser with no money?

* 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.

When were autistic people considered people by people in society?

I think we were always considered people but many people did (and a considerable amount still do) see us as lesser beings because we were different to them or lacked social skills.

I think even in an autistic society some will treat typical people as lesser because I know some autistic people (mainly on autistic networks) who can't stand typical people because of cultural differences(although our cultural differences are considered strange because we look like everyone from the culture we were born into)

How do you know if an autistic child is sexually abused by a direct caretaker?

I am sorry that this has happened to some one you know. This is an extremely difficult subject for many to deal with.

I would look at the inter actions between the two. What has changed recently in the child's behavior? Have you seen the two interact before? How has it changed? Is the child afraid to be with the caretaker? Is the caretaker overly attentive to the child? Look at the child's face and eyes when the child is interacting with the suspected caretaker? What do the eyes and face show?

Find a therapist who specializes in sexual abuse and has had some experience with disabled children, especially with autistic children. Seeking out a child advocacy center can help. Talk to Autism support groups for possible reference sources. Contact the local authorities also. Talk to adult sexual abuse survivors maybe they can give some insights or information that may be helpful.

I hope this is not true. If you suspect this is true, contact child protective services so they can conduct an investigation. The emotional damage caused by such actions can take years to deal with. Unfortunately, the autistic child's recovery could take longer and be incredibly frustrating for the family members to watch this recovery process take place. I think with lots of love and lots of time some of the damage might be lessened. I am truly sorry this is happening. I wish nothing but the best for the child and you.

What does it mean to be perfect?

To be completely and totally flawless, which nobody is. Perfect doesn't mean to never do wrong. Perfect is just trying to be the best person to youur ability. Loving people, generosity, having a positive attitude, sacrificing yourself for others. These are not ways to be perfect justt ways to be a better person and live more happily. Don't just live to please yourself. But youu also respect yourself and protect yourself also. So to ''be perfect'', well, its not possible. But there is a possibility ta be a better person. :) P.s.john3:16
