But October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Started a few years ago the aim was to raise awareness in the public's mind about what a domestic violence victim goes thru as well as turn the cultural attitudes that make it an epidemic. However there are probably more than a few domestic violence victims who would just as soon let the month and years pass by without any such acknowledgment. Why would they feel that way about something specifically designed to help them? Because we live in a world where all too often blame still falls upon the victim. The abuser has been doing a amount on the victim. Not just physically but emotionally. nothing else but the two go hand in hand. Add to that the "what did you do to provoke it" mentality that permeates much of our community and the reasons become a lot more apparent. 1. Failure You must have done something wrong to cause the marriage to turn out like this. Everybody knows your spouse was never like that before. In fact your spouse is still well liked and widely respected by many people. They are a success in so many phases of their life so it must be something that you are doing which causes them to abuse you. That in some ways is an improbable leap of logic but it works like a charm on many victims. Nobody wants to be seen as a failure so it's best to avoid the field altogether. 2. The Truth Comes Out Many family, friends and acquaintances consider you the model couple. Every time there is a consulation among your group circle about the problems with marriage, all eyes turn toward the two of you and population start singing your praises. You can't spoil it for them right? So you go along with the charade. Now one reason you can't spoil it for them is the fear of what will happen to you once your spouse gets you behind accomplished doors. The other is an unhealthy mix of pride. You know firsthand what is going on but the fact that population consider you the dream consolidate in some mysterious way makes you feel good. So if more make up or wearing clothes that cover the marks is needed to carry on this fantasy so be it. 3. Getting Better No the association is not improving. It's getting a lot worse nothing else but with the abuse becoming more frequent. But too many domestic violence victims convince themselves otherwise. They tell themselves sunny days are ahead and the marriage will be best than it ever was. So why talk about it to anything when love and happiness are right around the corner? 4. Deal with It They can deal with this. Their tough and they know it. Besides what is anything surface of the association going to do for them? Nothing. So stay out of it and let them deal with it in their own way 5.Love Yes. In spite of all the victim has gone thru they still love their spouse. In other words they could care less about themselves but they keep quiet so as to protect the perpetrator from any group humiliation. Even if the spouse is caught red handed by the police, the victim would be their strongest defender. The sad fact is you cannot make a domestic abuse victim come forward to article it or speak out against it if they have no desire to. However production the exertion to understand the victims' reasoning and motivations may help you to help them. Domestic Abuse Victim - 5 Reasons Why They Won't Tell anything |
