Hit Me Baby One More Time, DON'T.

A while back I joined a discussion on a blog site’s message board and we were discussing a topic that was so sensitive and so important that everyone should really be aware.

The topic was domestic violence in relationships. They posted questions that everyone could answer to participate. And of course, I had to voice out what my opinions about domestic violence are.

1. What is your thought on domestic violence in a marriage or relationship?

That's really a No-No. I just don't know how people who hurt their partner physically can call themselves "man".
If I would ever get so angry that I wanted to hurt someone, I'll just punch a wall instead. And I just can't imagine that I would raise my hand to a woman.

I’m also glad that I was raised in a household where we were taught that hitting another person isn’t a good idea. It is also a warm and loving household and respecting other people is a must. We are also told that violence isn’t an answer to anything. There really is nothing a good and open communication can’t solve.

Normally, we associate domestic violence with violence against women and children. But we should all be aware that men can also be victims of domestic violence. Although only a few of them are reported and talked about. Because as you know, men are proud beings. They wouldn’t normally like to admit that they’re being beaten up by a woman. But that shouldn’t be the case. Violence against someone should always be reported and attended to, no matter who the victim is.

I wish that no one should be ashamed to admit that they are being victimized.

2. Are you of the opinion that an abuser will change over time?

People don't change. They just don't. I have always believed that people aren't really capable of changing who they are. They may change their entirety physically, but what lies inside remains the same.

Unless a physical trauma to the brain would cause a mental change, then I would really say that an abuser won't likely change no matter how much time passes. They will always be a beater.

But that doesn't mean that they would always beat their partner. Although people can't change who they are, they can change some things in their personality.

What we can change is our attitude towards something. If a person can change his or her attitude toward violence, then maybe there's a chance that he or she would take his or her anger under control and stay away from the road of violence.

3. What can a victim do if he or she is being abused in a relationship?

There are a lot of things a victim can do. But oftentimes than not, they are not able to do anything because they are scared. They fear that their abuser would only escalate if they try to confront them and try to pacify things. Some may actually believe that everything will be better if they just keep their heads down. But unfortunately, an abuser will most of the time escalate things no matter what.

Never be scared to call for help. Ask for it. And if that doesn't bode well, just leave.
I know that it will be hard though because usually, a victim of DV is not only broken down physically, they are broken down emotionally too. In most cases too, the victims will, unfortunately, be dependent on their abusers.

Being abused takes a toll on the victim. Not only physically but also on a psychological level as well. Once a victim is successfully out of his or her abuser's reach, it is a good thing for them to undergo therapy.

I do understand that this topic is pretty sensitive but it's still a problem in our society and I believe that people should all be aware that it is okay to talk about this and that people involved in this toxic kind of relationship could voice out their concerns openly and they will not be judged and looked down upon.

Hi!

Man! That took quite a while to finish. It's hard to write when you make chika on the side. Anyway, let's make this into a prompt, shall we?

Let's just voice out our opinions regarding this topic. You can just answer the questions mentioned above and tell us your views on the matter.

I'm all for a little spanking here and there inside the bedroom but when hurting each other out of spite, then it's not tolerable for me.

Anyhow, that's it from me. I'll be looking forward to your opinions too and until we read again...

Cheers!!!
