Psychological manipulation

We bring into reflection that the abuse and mistreatment has been current in the everyday life of many elderly civilians and are a difficult subject to approach. As we all know and understand that this situation is very unjust and something should be done about it. Many abuse and maltreatment in the elderly cases are not present and have never been reported because the elderly is afraid to report it to the police the state or friends and family because sometimes it is their own family that they…

Glass shattering and screams of fear, also known as the signs of domestic abuse. In Greg Fraser’s poem “Coward,” a nosy neighbor, the speaker of the story, listens to these signs; signs that are a call to action. The neighbor, however, does not intervene, but instead ignores these shrieks. The speaker’s inability to help a defenseless woman being beat by her abusive-truck-driving husband brings light to the controversial issue of if someone, who knows of domestic abuse, is responsible for it or…

The kids that are bullied may become bullies. Being a bully is worse than being a bystander because the bully is the blame for the victim to commit suicide. In my opinion, bystanders are just as bad as bullies. Bystanders don’t do anything to stop bullying. Bystanders don’t stand up to bullying, because they are scared to…

Nothing could prepare me for the life changing events of domestic abuse. I witnessed my mother struggle with abusive men all my life. I used to tell myself I would never let a man do those kind of things to me. Until it happened to me. The daily struggle trying to leave this man had become paralyzing. A daily grapple which lasted eight years. I became a drug free junkie. Inevitably I grew an addiction to this man. A man who turned out to be a real live Incubus. This demon of seduction took…

In the poem “Those Winter Sundays” by Hayden, a man looks back on his childhood to realize his father showed his love through his actions. The father woke up before the crack of dawn, even on Sunday, Hayden states, “then with cracked hands that ached/ from labor in the weekday made/ banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him,” (Lines 3-5) His body, at least his hands, showed the physical labor of his job taking a toll on him, but still he woke up early to make sure the house was warm for him…

From emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, these women have lived through it all. One interesting narrative that was found amongst the stories was the intimate relationship between the abuser and the abused.
