Quote From: will6012I am a man of 50 and have never hit or raised my voice in anger to a woman. Temperament is about control of emotions. It is outrageous for a man to hit or abuse a woman.
It is equally outrageous and insane for a woman to hit or abuse a man. Many people see a man as a monster if he physically abuses his wife and they should. But, a woman is a bigger monster if she physically abuses her child. It is crap when a woman cries "postpartum depression".
I don't care if:
- The woman has a temper (solution: Walk away)
- The woman didn't like the response she got (solution: Ignore it)
- The woman thinks she can do or say thing with her child.
A woman who lays her hand on a child or her man also know her consequences.
A woman finds her husband in bed with another woman, walk away and control your emotions.
A man finds his wife in bed with another man, walk away and control your emotions.
I have a friend of mine who is a woman living with a woman now. She formally was in an abusive relationship with a man and she got out of it. She is now in an abusive relationship with a woman and she is the abuser. She did not realize it, until I pointed it out to her and now she is working to change that.
All people need to take responsibility. As a woman do you have the right to hit your husband, because he called you a wh###? No, walk away. Man, do you have the right to hit your wife, because she called you a bast.###? No, walk away.
Running over and backing over your husband, is not excused or justified. Castrating your husband while he sleeps is not acceptable. People get in volatile relationship and it is up to each one to get out of it. I had to ask my niece, who kept going back to her baby's daddy wife-beater, cheater and abuser why she kept going back? She said she loved him. I asked her what she actually love and waited for her to tell me what but she had no answer. I then asked her, if she loved it when he hit her? She said no. I asked if she loved it when he cheated on her? No. I asked how about when he called her names? No.
Stop the abuse against children, then against woman, and then against men. We will get to animals in another life time. Because, humans first,and some where in this world they are eating a dog or cat the same as we eat beef from a cow. That's a fact. I am against animal cruelty, but the cause to stop abuse against children, women, and men for exceed that cause.
Icould not help but notice the above quote jump out from the above quoted post. PLEASE, Dr. Phil, take note of the ongoing ignorance that women deal with in the area of postpartum depression. In the midst of the serious and tragic discussions you entertained yesterday on domestic violence and spousal homicide, someone has the unmitigated gall to bring up postpartum depression and belittle it as something that is not a reality for women. It is bad enough that it is a REALITY for 10 to 20% of new mothers suffer from this horrible illness. But to bring it up and demean these women in the midst of a discussion of women who are battered and killed by their husbands?
I posted on this site two days ago before the show aired. I divorced my abusive husband ten months ago after assaults, fearing for my life. I had the notarized statements safely locked away where peoople knew where they were, saying that if I was found dead, he was the one who did it. And as I said before, I am proud to say I am alive today. Life is hell now; I am hundreds of miles away from my family, isolated. I have lost everything I had, financially. I am in more debt than I will ever recover from. But I am thankful that I am no longer afraid to go home at night. I am thankful I am no longer afraid to go to sleep at night (except for the fear of the bill collectors......). And believe me, that fear pales in comparison to the fear of my ex....Thank you, Dr. Phil, for a show that will hopefully encourage more women to take what is the hardest step of your life; the step out the door to leave. I hope the young woman on your show with her young daughter gets out. Just watching her husband gave me nightmares.
