Why does the thought of your ex-Narcissist who dumped you and verbally and emotionally abused you meeting another girl and being nice to her haunt you?

I just ended my abusive relationship with a Narcissist. I do feel sorry for him, because he is mentally ill. Because he will never be able to love in a normal sense. But I am really trying not to confuse that with the fact that he is a dangerous person to those of us who can love normally. I have a lot of work to do finding out who I am and what I want, and while it is perfectly normal to help those who are willing to help themselves...there is no help for anyone who is a Narcissist, unless they are able to recognize it themselves. We do not help them by staying with them. Regret that they are sick individuals, that the relationship was so one-sided, that you gave up so much of yourself to someone who you really could not help....but DO move on. You can love normally, God wants that for you, and he wants you to have someone who can love you back. Don't be unevenly yoked to someone who can't see the light. God Bless you, Mbme

Why are moms so crazy?

They love you so much they can't think straight. This might sound cliche, but they just want the best for you and will stop at nothing to get it.

Mothers will be mothers. They just want to protect you from the harsh world because she went throught the same thing and is just trying to help you get through all the tough times. Respect your mother and NEVER call her crazy to her face...trust me.

Do drugs affect abusive relationships?

Many abusers also abuse substances and are alcoholics or do drugs.

Drugs have an adverse effect on ANY relationship, even to the extent of creating abuse within a relationship that was once quite healthy.

Drugs do affecr abusers, however they were abusive before the drugs. The drugs provide an excuse for all sorts of abusive behaviour. For example, they spend all the money, leaving you with no food. They don't pay bills, rent or support a child. They lose their jobs, vechiles and marriage. The drugs are number one to them and they will do anything to get them. That includes conning, lying and manipulating their families. I will never even consider a date with a man who has any past history with drugs after a marriage that was from hell. Wihtout sounding rude, junkies are the lowest form of life and they will treat anyone like crap to get what they want. Please move on as there are alot of nice straight people out there. :)

I don't believe that people who take drugs and become abusive where necessarily abusive prior to the drugs. Many forms of drugs are mind altering and can cause such poor memory recall that the abusive person truly believes that he or she did not cause the confrontation. It's a difficult call because I know that I tend to fall into the trap of wanting to help the person - as I have, but I am at the stage where I realise one cannot really help because the addict must want to help themselves. You can suggest ATODS (rehab)but you might find empty promises of "yes I'll go next week" or the like. There's always the danger of falling into the pattern that your partner has - eg. excessive alcohol. If this happens then it is possible that if you are normally a placid person of good nature who ignores the lies, financial strain, controlling ways, put downs and lack of consideration that after a few drinks the resentment that is being held in will come pouring out - every one has their limits, and under the influence it can be exaggerated and one can say things that are just to hurt the other person who has been hurting you. What form of abuse are you referring to? You must remember that emotional abuse can last a life time whilst a bruise will heal (I am NOT saying it is ok to be physically abused). Dr. Susan Forward has a great book - Emotional Blackmail - I'd recommend a read for anyone out there that is subjected to put downs, manipulation etc. I know in the light of day (when straight!) the abusive person can make you feel so special and good that it's easy to cling to those memories when getting abused......"he doesn't mean it. He's really a loving person" etc etc. Only you can decide what is best but being in a similar situation my decision is an ultimatum - clean up or clear out!

Why does everybody love to bully?

Not everyone likes to bully. In fact, most people don't like to bully. Usually people who bully are not happy with themselves, so they want to make everyone else miserable too by pushing them down. Others just enjoy hurting others. often because they are hurting inside or it makes them feel important.

Bullying can happen at any age, but it is more common when you are a preteen or teen. Usually, bullying during adulthood is sexist or racist bullying. You may not feel you're being bullied when you're an adult because you can "shrug it off" more easily.

If you can, avoid them. If you see someone being bullied, report it.

How did domestic violence start?

Domestic violence can start from anywhere, it may start from mere mental abuses, and may later aggravate to grave mental torture. Such a mental torture may even lead to physical abuses. If one needs more details they can connect to Siddhartha Shah and Associate on

How many kids die in a day from abuse?

It is said that the vast majority of beatings are never reported. If, as seems likely, this is the case, there are no reliable statistics. (You would in any case need to specify a country or state).

Is slapping a child repeatedly in the face because of something they said considered abuse?

Yes because the child was just be a child and you slap them just because they said something to tick you off. If a child said something wrong talk with the child don't hit the child.

Absolutely.

The legal definition of physical child abuse is that action which causes injury to the child (bruises, abrasions, cuts, broken bones, etc.)regardless of whether an instrument (paddle, belt, etc.) was used.

The definition of any person who physically or verbally attacks someone who is smaller than they are is a "bully".

Parents who resort to such action should become knowledgeable in other means of affective discipline for the good of themselves and other family members.

Consider this fact, if an adult slaps another adult because they did not care for something that person said, he or she could be charged with criminal assault and/or battery and also face civil action.

That being the case, children should be afforded the same protection under the law even when it involves supposedly parental discipline.

Answer

Yes it is and a parent shouldn't do anything more than give a warning first, then if the child doesn't listen a moderate spanking on the butt (with the palm of the hand) and no spoons, belts or other objects. There is also the good old fashion "stick the bar of soap" in your child's mouth for 10 seconds to smarten them up and then make sure they rinse their mouth out well after. My parents did that to my brother and I if we were rude or swore.

horrified

I am horrified by the above answer. Soap in the mouth is still abuse. anyone who does anything that distresses someone, smaller, younger, weaker or n a more lowly position is still a bully.

If you did that to another adult it would be called assault and you would be hauled into court.

Answer

Horrified. Get a life! A few seconds of a mild bar of soap in a child's mouth (for swearing or being rude to adults when all else fails) IS not considered abuse and is a quick way to stop these bad habits and it's certainly better than having to spank your child every time you turn around!

Take a look around ... you are the parent (higher position), they are the children and YOU are suppose to teach your children good skills such as good manners, to consider others and that life out there is full of hard knocks and no one is going to put up with a spoiled and unruly child! Why do you think they brought back the no spanking law in British Columbia! You should have a look at the movie "Christmas Story" because it sure brings back memories to me and it didn't make my brother and I bumbling idiots for the rest of our lives.

AnswerI can understand why one would be horrified by the above statement about "washing a child's mouth out with soap." There are many nasty, if not, harmful chemicals in soaps such as perfume (alcohol and essential oils), tallow (fat mixed with lye), sulfates (salts made of sulfuric acid), and whatever other compounds that make up some of the other ingredients. It's basically the same as if you were to squeeze a bottle of shampoo or dishsoap into their mouths. Even if they don't swallow it, they swallow some. Would you swallow "some" perfume or "some" lye? Probably not.

Humilitation and degredation may teach a child not to do it again in front of their parent, but it also breeds hate, anger, resentment and possibly revenge.

A child is a student of life. Apples don't fall far from their trees. If a parent slaps a child repeatedly or forces chemicals like soap into a child's mouth, they probably got that from their own parent (or other "responsible" adult). It is a BREAKABLE cruel cycle.

Does Jo Jo have a boyfriend?

How am I supposed to know? She's not my BFF. And you'll want to give up on that dream sweetie (sorry) :)

What is considered child abuse?

Sexual abuse is most common. This is called rapture (rape) or forced sex. Beating, slapping, and hitting is also apart of rape. Sometimes killing or murder is taken afterwards. Or sometimes it is just abuse or murder. People who rape are called rapists, sex offenders, petifiles and so on.

How many women in the world are abused?

This question cannot be answered because abuse often goes unreported even in our Western countries. Millions of women are abused in the world. China prefers boy babies to girls (just on the news tonight) and Iraq and many other countries are abusive towards their women that don't conform to men. Sometimes it's about culture and sometimes it's plain cruelty.

What can you do when your family is threatening you and your boyfriend?

This is a complex question and one you didn't give much info on. It depends on why your family is threatening and is it really threatening or is it concern regarding your choice of boyfriends? You have to be brutally honest with yourself and get those stars out of your eyes and look at your boyfriend. Is he a good guy and does he treat you right? If he loves you he shouldn't slap or hit you in any way, never stand you up on a date, never be disrespectful to you or your family. Is he secretive and never goes into the house to see your parents and honks outside to pick you up? A parent that cares really detests a guy that just screams up to the house, honks and never gives the girl's parents the respect of coming to the door and going inside simply to say hello. There is nothing wrong with him coming inside, waving and saying "Hi there Mr. & Mrs. Smith." It was like that in my day and nothing has changed much to this day. If I had a daughter you're darn rights I'd want to know who she was going out with and so would my husband. These are things parents don't like: A young man that speeds up to the door in his car, honks and waits outside while his girlfriend comes out to the car. Although opening the door for girlfriends these days is not quite a requirement it's nice, but if he doesn't have a smile on his face or a wave to you as you walk up to the car and has a sullen look on his face and tells you to hurry up and get in the car that doesn't sound like love to me. Parent's sometimes watch from the window! Dressed neatly. He could be in clean jeans and a T-shirt, or whatever fashion is in style (within reason) but if you are going somewhere very special he should be dressed for the occasion and if he isn't then you're in trouble! If he had any self esteem and he cared for you he wouldn't have to be told to do this. Tattoos and nose rings rarely cut it with parents, but it's the "in thing" now and if he has one or two your parents are going to have to realize this is no worse a fade than some of the ones we had in our day. I still don't get the tattoos and nose rings myself and as far as I'm concerned these kids that get those things done to their body missed the boat by 100 years and should have lived in parts of Africa where the culture did this to their bodies. This is not a new thing! Each to their own! Some of the nicest kids I know have rings somewhere on their body and it's the one in the eyebrow that makes me cringe only because I want to say "ouch!" LOL Parents love it when the young man is confident and parents know it's uncomfortable for their daughter's date to come inside because they have been through this themselves, but it's a right a parents has and it means the parent loves their daughter. Your boyfriend may be nervous, but it's a smart thing to do. He should be genuine about caring enough about you to want to meet your parents because you just never know if he could be their son-in-law one day. Parents enjoy their daughter's boyfriends joining in on a few special events in the family, so that gives your boyfriend big points. Remind your parents that you can't always judge a book by it's cover. Parents just love their kids so much and want to keep them as safe as they possibly can and sometimes they just get a little too over protective. I'd rather have parents like that than parents who never cared where I was. If you can honestly say this young man is a good person all the way around (your friends like him as well) then talk to your parents and don't yell or scream, but tell them you think they are unfair and what are their reasoning's for this. See if you can't meet them halfway. Ask them if you can ask him over for an evening so you can all sit down and talk and he can get to know them and vice-versa. Don't make it a long evening, but let them get to know each other slowly. Respect for your family and you are the issue here and I bet this guy isn't giving one ounce of respect. Many kids think they have their own little secret world and their parents know diddly about anything. I have a news flash .... most parent's do! We were kids once and drugs and alcohol were around then (although drugs weren't as prevalent as they are today.) We had peer pressure, parties, crashed parties, bad boyfriends or girlfriends, etc. We went to concerts where we nearly got trampled to death. We have heard the "F" word and much worse. We necked and sometimes we even had sex! Oh yeah! Can you imagine? We made mistakes, we always thought we were more mature than we actually were. We always thought our parents couldn't possibly understand how we felt and it seemed that especially our mothers seldom approved of the boyfriends daughters dated. Some of us snuck out to meet a boyfriend we knew our parent's didn't approve of, and some of us cheated on tests in school. Generations never really change. One thing most of us NEVER did, was talk to our parents with disrespect! WE DO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! Any kid out there that thinks they have the corner on the market of "cool" is so out of touch with reality and think they are fooling an adult is sooooooooooooo wrong! Have that talk and take it slow and cool. Good luck Marcy

Can a 17 year old move out of their parents house in Georgia without permission?

It is not legal to move out of your parents home in Georgia until you are 18 years old. If you move out at 17 than you can be charged with a status offense. That is according to Georgia code § 15-11-2 which says that anyone under the age of 18 can be a status offender. Status offenses include things such as truancy, running away, and unruly behavior. When it says running away that means moving out of your parents house as well, because your parents will just go ahead and report you as a run away.

Why would an abuser give you the silent treatment at times when things are going well in life and you feel happy yet you feel less for him?

It's a control game to see if you will beg him to talk to you and punish you for having the guts to stand up to them. The above poster is correct, but there are some abusive people that for a change are stunned when someone does stand up to them (especially their mate.) It's a sign to them they are losing control. If you think you've won, don't start blowing up balloons, because abusers will get even and be right back in your face and will make you pay dearly for this so-called weak moment the abuser feels they've had. They love control and don't like ANYONE rocking their boat.

Why do abused women and men prefer to suffer in silence?

It's never just one answer for an individual and there are different reasons for different people. Generally though, I think that fear of something is the only reason to stay in an abusive relationship or even just to keep it secret. Hiding the abuse helps to hide the fact that action needs to be taken to protect oneself against the abuser. If no one knows about it, you don't need to fix it. Maybe it's an attemtp to hide the relationship's problems from one's self. Maybe it's a fear of the unknown, a fear of ending the relationship, fear of starting over, fear of further abuse if the plan to leave the relationship fall apart, fear of opening oneself to a new relationship, fear of real intimacy...The woman may be threatened that something bad will happen to her or the kids if she tells anyone. I guess the list goes on an on. There may be a few reasons not having to do with fear at all too though, like needing to stay in order to have time to show the abuser that they are doing something wrong, or to prove that the woman/victim is strong enough to withstand the abuse. Maybe the woman also wants the outside world to view her life in a certain way, so she can't admit to anything less than perfect. There are so many reasons and they are as individual as the person and the circumstances (past and present).
