This is not a disease...and the only thing that is

Quote From: annpar55

this show was very moving..I hope the 'happy ending' happens..but I've been this woman and I work with these women all the time...they get out of one abusive relationship, get their self confidence back, etc. and so on, but because they are basically seeking a 'strong' man, they find another abuser, or worse, go back to the same man.  If Dr Phil can really make a difference in this epidemic, my hat's off to him..I read a book years ago, called Women Who Love Too Much..it changed my life, along with a lot of counseling and many years in Alanon, I no longer am attacted to 'bad' boys..but the chances of women with this dependent personalities pulling out of the cycle, are very low.  We just had an high profile attorney in my city shoot his wife and then kill himself.  It's tragic, but becoming more common..dependent personality disorder is a true psychological problem and practically incurable. :(

This is not a disease... and the only thing that is doubtful here is that the abuser will change...or actually on going and consistently attend his counseling.  

   

Your comments and stereotypical remarks contribute to the problem.  

   

The women are the reachable ones.  

   

This abuse and violence is learned behavior and is a choice.  

   

These men are killing their wives and their children.  

   

This abuse and violence is a crime, and the criminals need to suffer the consequences of losing their families and jail time.
