Hate me if you want to but the women are also to blame if they continue to let it happen. If he hits you once, he will do it again because you have given him the OK to do so.
I couldn't agree more. Many women and even some men hate that I believe that. But YOU are responsible for your own safety, and must take responsibility also for your own decisions. Often a spouse will *test* you when you are first dating, to see what you will put up with and what you won't. If you allow abuse of ANY kind to go on for very long, they will figure you'll take anything and may not allow you to walk away easily.
The only thing I wonder about is how abusive cops are portrayed in films. They are always shown as giving one another a 'break' when in domestic violence situations.
I wonder if this is actually true, or is true in this day and age. Once upon a time domestic violence was looked at as a private or 'family squabble', and police were unwilling AND unable to often arrest anyone.
But I wonder if cops still cut one another a break there, or if that is a stereotype of television. I imagine plenty of cops despise abusers, cops or not.
