 Quote From: silveramber07 I am so glad that someone out there really understands why women stay with abusive men. Sometimes the reason is very basic one ..... They have no where else to go. They buy into the: Im sorry, it wont happen again, Or have been abused enough to know if they leave the man will find them and kill them. I was in a situtation like that one. I had two kids and no hope at all. It was easy to sit on the side and say just pick up and leave but if you have no money, no car, two kids and no where to go, it isn't so easy. We need to find a way to help these women and children. This is a problem that will take more than Dr. Phil to fix. It will take a nation to stand up and say you are not allowed to do that. We need laws that protect women and cops and judges who are not afraid to actually apply those laws. Until that happens, these horrible things will happen over and over and over again. I finally got out of that situtation and I am with a man who loves me and my kids and would never hurt us in any way. I still have to deal with my ex-husband and not knowing where he is or when he will pop back into my life but he doesn't scare me anymore. I know I am safe and that my kids are safe. I will never go back to that again. For all of the women who have ever been in those situtations but have gotten out .... THANK GOD EVERYDAY THAT YOU ARE SAFE AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T. If you know someone who is in those situtations don't be afraid to offer help if you can. I totally agree with you in what you say, We need judges not in just America but in other countries like Australia and NZ to take a stand and stop this abuse. My ex is walking around even after everything he did to us but all they did was just slapped his wrists and said, you have your parental and access rights taken away even though he had a criminal record for a sex crime, but that did not stop him from trying to find us by using the police and social services but he never found us, thank god for that.
These people need to be shown that they cannot do it anymore.
I hope one day, i can meet someone who will be right for me and my kids and be the gentleman that me and the kids deserve but that trust will never be the same.
I know I am safe and that my kids are safe. I will never go back to that again. For all of the women who have ever been in those situtations but have gotten out .... THANK GOD EVERYDAY THAT YOU ARE SAFE AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T.
Thank you Dr Phil for bringing this out into the open and making a difference, we all can make a difference if we all band together to stop these atrocities which is happening in our society. |
