Abusive Relationships and Domestic Violence

hitting and pushing

while the above are abusive acts they are just the tip of the iceburg.

an abusive act can be anything from calling names, to shoving, hitting, controlling behavior, and manipulation, if someone is forcing to do something you dont want to do, even if it is something as simple as not wearing certain clothing, or seeing certain people, or if they put there hands on you in any way they are all types of abuse. Physical abuse is hitting and shoving, mental abuse is far more complex and unfortunetly in my opinion much more prevalent, if you feel you are being abused odds are you are and you should remove yourself from the situation at once.

I highly suggest calling a local assessment facility (usually outpatient and impatient ) and be brutally honest on the assessment. If someone has been drinking for years on end a 5th a day, cold turkey is not an option without medication and medical detox. One can die from the sudden alcohol withdrawals.

I am a recovering alcoholic and you may have a long road ahead of you, but its all worth it. And enjoy the process, many wonderful people exist in the program. I was scared when I first went. I expected everyone to be toothless and wanting a ride back to the bridge downtown.Nope, its an equal opportunity disease. I was not a functional drunk and thank God. I don't think my body could have taken anymore.

What 12 step program fits your personal needs is up to you. They have AA and in many places Celebrate Recovery (Christian based). I CANNOT emphasize the importance of brutal honesty, sponsors or accountability partners and working steps. I went in and out of the program to no avail for years. I went to meetings but couldn't last. I thought getting sober sucked but staying it was even worse. But now, its good! You hang in long enough to watch others drink and sound so stupid and your embarrassed for them, you will appreciate no hangovers or having to take eye openers to just function.

Since Alcoholism is a family disease, if you have teens, or your spouse is deeply hurt (which is likely). be sure sure to have them check ala teen and or your spouse alanon. As the dynamics of the family changes with sobriety others don't know where they fit and how to support not enable the alcoholic.A great opportunity to become closer as a family.I wish you the best, you deserve it. If you are anything like this drunk. I hated drinking because I didn't stop. There was a prize at the end of the tunnel and I was darn well going to be the one to find it! Absolutely horrible as horrible for me, black outs and eye openers my days blurred together.

Go 10 minutes early to groups and just mingle, I have met some life long friends in the program. Not like the psuedo friends that are around to get your stash or drinks. At any rate enjoy your weekend and don't hesitate to write me . Chryss

Is the individual being abused a child, incompetent or elderly? Yes, It is a crime

Is the individual being abused a competent adult? No abuse (thou I would recommend a mental evaluation if such abuse is being allowed)

in most states this would no longer be child abuse but assault and yes they can absolutely get into BIG trouble with the law (depending on the severity of the abuse). They can even be investigated for potential abuse against any younger siblings if they are reported to the authorities for hitting you.

try to get help for that person but do it in steps if you think the person may be harmed if they leave the abusive person. call help lines for abused people. get help before it is to late. something may happen that can't be reversed. i have a friend that was in a abusive relationship and her boyfriend almost killed her so please help that person before it is to late. i beg you

It is due to outdated views on what is proper. In all reality, some females can be as abusive as some men. In ways it is worse because of societies views. If the guy shows that he is hurt, he is looked at as a wimp for getting "beat up" by a girl. If he defends himself, he is the guy that hits a girl. His alternative it just to be quiet and take it. It can be a no win situation. In more recent times, the problem is starting to be recognized, and better education is starting to come about. It is not right for a guy to hit a girl.

Sexual hormones has something to do with that. Because they want sex. Is the main reason.

Giving someone dirty or mean looks may constitute nonverbal bullying. Also physically mistreating someone by tripping them, bumping into them (maybe pretending it was an accident, maybe accusing them of being clumsy) or pushing them, or by encouraging other people to do these things.

• No, teenagers should not be spanked, but they should be made to be responsible for their actions and the parents can ground them; take something away from them such as computer time; TV time; seeing their friends, etc.

Here are the signs of mental abuse: Ordering you around, Not letting you think for yourself, Calling you names, Taking your self esteem away, Putting you down in front of your friends, Constantly yelling at you, You can't do anything right for him, Making you feel as if you aren't worthy of any proper affection from men, Making you fear him, Constantly treading on eggshells for fear you will upset him, Pushing and shoving (also physical abuse), Not sharing your interests and talking about himself constantly, Seeing you when he feels like it and not making a proper date and caring about your personal time. These are a few of many, but I think you will understand them. If you feel he is doing two or more of these things, kick this guy to the curb. If someone loves you they never want to intentionally hurt you.

My ex-boyfriend told me he had been through alot. He never showed his emotions or showed me affection. So i asked what he had been through and i told him he could tell me anything and that i was there for him. He opened up to me and told me what he had been through and it broke my heart, i never knew. And i am so glad that he told me. All you need to do is get him to open up to you. Tell him you are there for him. Tell him how much he means to you, and that you want to know. Tell him that he can cry on your shoulder and that you will support him now no matter how bad his past is. And if you are ready (or you haven't already done it) tell him you love him.

Find out as much as you can about the person before you allow yourself to get emotionally involved with him/her. Some relationships are better off as just friends instead of intimate deeply personal friends.

Human/poachers just saw it on t.v.

It depends on the circumstances. If you were the abuser or the victim you need to think about your future very clearly. If you were abused often but not daily by someone who would not seek help you need to consider if your relationship should be terminated completely if they are still unwilling. If you are an abuser you need to pinpoint when and why you started such behavior and most likely involve yourself in some sort of therapy. If radically abusive or abused you need to seek intense therapy. If you stood around and took terrible abuse for a long period of time you probably are in need of therapy as badly as the abuser.

Just decide if you need to seek therapy or simply continue your life. You'll find happiness in being single if you were abused for a long period of time, and if you run into a new abusive partner or get together with the same partner and he stays abusive then you need to cancel that relationship and remind yourself it is not your fault. Good luck, I know that emotional and physical abuse can be taxing and dealing with it is difficult.

This sounds like sour grapes about people who have been caught in abusive relationships--like it is their choice. Of course, no one specifically seeks out someone who is abusive.

Actually, so many of the abusive mates are very charming and attractive (make you laugh, have fun, offer nice courtesies) in the beginning, which is so appealing. They just can't keep the facade when things get real, and there is commitment by the other person, so there is less incentive to mind their manners. Looking back, I can see several "what was That?" instances in my relationship.

And that is the issue--we all go back to familiar behaviors unless we have had time out to have the insight to see ourselves as we are and to view our choices with more logic than emotion. A veteran of an abusive relationship needs to take things slow, observe the red flags (ie. did the person's ex leave them suddenly and without explanation? Are they quick to anger? Do they blame you for things you have no control over? etc.), and spend time with the other person in several different circumstances. If you can delay having sex with the new person and mixing those endorphins into the decision making, you will be better off.

A good resource is the book by Patricia Evans--The Verbally Abusive Relationship.

It is not common to verbally abuse your child if you had so fare in past. Humanbeings are social animal hence capable of improvemnt in their term. Had that been the scene,we wold have hardly developed from barbarianism of dark ages.

If you are not sexually active and you are just dating, then no. He hasn't done anything to get in trouble for. However, if you do engage in sexual activities then he can be charged with statutory rape even if you initiated the sexual contact with him.

no they don't quit unless you make them quit by LEAVING.

Substance abuse indirectly and directly affects more than half our population. Individuals who suffer from substance abuse disorders leave behind family, friends, and others that are also affected by the user’s addiction.

What causes addiction? There are oftentimes a variety of factors that may lead to abusing drugs or alcohol such as

• Genetics or generational addiction
• Chaotic home environment
• Abuse in the home or domestic
• Parent with addiction/ living with parents who are addicted to drugs or alcohol
• Peer pressure
• School problems
