Domestic Issue In Relationships Today

Decent Essays
This is a common issue within relationships today. I believe most domestic situation start from an individual’s childhood. A person has to want to change and obtain help for their issue in the mean while you absolutely cannot stay in an abusive situation with it is verbal or physical. For the women who stay look at the Judicial system they live with this person for several years press charges for abuse then they get out on bail and come right back home. I don’t believe the victim is protected enough in the eyes of the law therefore most people fail to report abuse. Another example is the abuser is the main provider in the home. So they don’t; want to send them to jail then they want have their financial support. So we have to start counseling

    This abuse doesn’t only take a psychical toll on a person, but an emotional one as well. It is often hard for a women to leave her partner in that situation because there is a cycle that occurs and that cycle has what is called the “honeymoon phase” where the abusive partner feels bad about what they have done and tries to make up for it. The partner then forgives them and the cycle repeats itself all over again (Mallicoat, 135-136). My solution to this would be for women to be educated more on domestic/intimate partner abuse and know what to do and where to go when it starts happening. Another thing that would help this is if the children who witness the abuse can reach out to authorities and even maybe have a safe place they can go…

    After reading "violence in intimate relationships: a feminist perspective" there are some harsh realities that some women do not want to face when they are or may be in a abusive relationship. Women face being labeled as a "battered woman" someone who has lost their morals or values to even stay with a male who is abusive towards them. I believe it is hard for women to leave a abusive relationship because they are scared especially if the abuse has been going on for years. I've seen a lot of movies based on women being abused by their significant other and from those movies i got that the woman has to at some point build this determination to leave that abusive relationship. Furthermore the woman has to feel like she has someone to turn to…

    People need to recognize the reasons why women would ever stay with the abusive partner weather he be her boyfriend, fiancé, or husband. The World Health Organization evidence suggests that women who are abused women adopt strategies to take full advantage of their desperate situation and for their safety of them and their children. Heise and colleagues (1999) suggest that if a woman is inactive to leave it may be a deliberate calculation to protect her children and also herself. Some of their reasons why a woman would not leave the violent relationship is because of her fear that her partner out of anger, would retaliate against her in a violent matter for example finding her and assaulting her for leaving him. Most predatory partners that abuse their partners also control all the finances and will not let their partners get a job which blocks any means of escape economically.…
