And ya' know what bothers me extremely ...
It is not just mothers and sisters of a male abuser, but brothers, fathers, friends that just turn away and leave the female victim questioning the oddity of it all?!
I am not a male, but suspect it works both ways!
I don't think they really believe the abused are responsible ... like ... here take my arm and make it strike you!! Duh! I think they are just as chicken sh*t persons as the abusers and these people should also be held accountable for their the knowledge of that abuse ... like leaving the scene of a crime!
Abuse will never change unless someone BESIDES the victim pays (AND I DON'T MEAN MONEY)!!!
I am afraid I don't respect women who hide their husbands' problems.
Guess that would make me a bad wife to a lot of men.
Whew ... Oprah, put the mothers and sisters on stage!!!
