Spouse abuse stories, are regretfully, something that a lot of people have become accustomed to hearing. These stories can be seen in the media, and they are talked about online. However, despite the influx of these stories that exist, it is surprising that there are still so many people that find themselves in these types of situations.
One of the primary questions that people ask, when they hear about someone that is being victimized is why the individual does not leave their abuser. This is a great question that gets a lot of conflicting answers. Unfortunately, most people that have been involved in abusive relationships, believe that they are the ones that are causing the abuse.
Usually, individuals that find themselves in a domestic violence situation, are in this type of situation, because the abuse did not start out physically. Typically, an abuser will work on breaking the person down mentally and emotionally, before they ever strike them. Once the individual has been beaten down mentally, that is when the physical attacks begin occurring.
These individuals do not think like ordinary individuals that are not being abused. They question themselves, and believe that they are the reason why the abuse is happening to them. It is sad, that anyone would think that they deserve to be treated in such an ill-mannered way, but there are a lot of people that do.
Once an abuser is able to change the way that an individual feels about themselves, they have them under their complete control. They are free to treat them the way that they want to, and they know that the other individual will take whatever comes their way, in fear of losing them. Abusers manipulate the minds of their victims, in the same way that cult leaders manipulate their followers.
In fact, there are a lot of people that are subjected to this type of treatment, that will stand up for the person that is abusing them. They try to see the abuser as a good person. They believe that if the individual is hurting them that they have done something to deserve the treatment they are receiving. It is kind of sick that anyone would think this way, but it is something that happens every single day.
Most victims find it difficult to escape an abusive relationship, because they do not have anyone else, but their abuser to help them. Typically, the abuser will insist that the victim cuts all of their ties that they have with other individuals in their lives. They will make the victim believe that they are alone, and that there is no one they can turn to.
Spouse abuse stories can tear at your heart. However, before questioning why anyone would stay in this type of dangerous situation, it is important to see the situation from their point of view. Ask yourself, if you were in the same situation, and had children to take care of, and a life to live up to, if you would stay or leave. Of course, most people will say that they will leave. However, for some women, and even some men, leaving to them is considered worse than staying. The only way to break the cycle is to teach individuals that there is always a way out.
