Domestic violence or domestic abuse.

seen it a lot, who is responsible, there is no one or easy answer to this, you have to look at it on a case by case basis. I can tell you this though most of the time it is the society that allows it to happen that is at fault.

I actually have seen abuse first hand. I was physically, sexually, and mentally abused as a child. I watched my mother get beat and I too was beat by my ex. I have seen abuse my entire life. Fortunetelly, I am out of that situation and am happily married. There is no way to tell what the cause is. The only one who should be blamed is the abuser.

It seems the world is becoming more violent every day, including the women. I personally would never hit a lady or a gentleman. Violence is for the weaker minded, childish adults that just can't seem to control their emotions. I don't believe in violence. Violence only begets more violence. On the other hand, if I have no other choice, I will defend myself against anyone that come against me unjustified, either it be a man or woman. Remember I said man or woman, not gentleman or lady. Anyone that thinks themself one of the latter does not depend on violence to resolve problems and disputes.

It's not often that a man would speak up if he was being physically or mentally abused, mostly because of the abuses and ridicule he would get from people that don't understand it and how it comes into being. I know quite a few men that let their partner hit them and do nothing about it because "I dont hit girls" and "She can't hurt me!" when actually they do get hurt but aren't wanting to admit it. The cause of most of it I would say is jealousy, low self esteem (of both parties) and controlling behaviors. In a relationship with abuse, both are to blame.....the abuser keeps getting away with it over and over by playing mid games and the person being abused doesn't see it for what it is, and when they do, they may already be a co-dependent (promoting the behavior of the abuser) I've done alot of reading up over abuse the last few years and it took me a very long time to leave an abusive relationship.....I blame him for continuing the behavior but I blame myself for letting it continue.

Domestic violence in whatever sense you take it is a very unhealthy thing to have in a household.It effects the whole family together with the persons involved in it the main sufferes being the small kids in the household.Being an Indian i myself have seen so many cases of domestic violence in my neighbourhood and it is a thing which prevails in most of the homes of lower and lower middle class families.The government evrywhere should take proper measures to curb it as it is really hurting the society hard.

I think if the men were being treated better they would be a lot nicer or if maybe they had fun just my opinon

There's also a time that the husband is being battered. But yeah most of the time, women are always the victim. Who shall be blamed by it? Actually, if this is happening to us, or in our family, we have no one to blame but our selves as we are letting this to happen. If your husband is abusing you physically, emotionally, mentally, you have to do something for it. Don'tlet your husband or your wife to do that on you as they have to respect you as a human. Try to ask yourself also, why am i being abused? Perhaps you are doing something wrong and you have to realize that, but then, abusing is not the solution, It is immoral. When a family is having a domestic abuse, try to look out who's doing this. Parents are most responsible for it, as they should teach their children a good manner and not actually show them abuse that could really bring a bad effect to your family physically, emotionally. Have a nice day ahead from Francis.

I ma sure the most guilty for this situation in education.Most of people aren't able to live in society. I will never understand why someone will stay with a abusive and violent person ???! As about me no one have the right to have this behaivior,and have to exixt a social protection against those animals which use violence...i think some months in jail and all will be cured easy... augusta
