Domestic violence: There are so many domestic violence victims don't speak up because they fear being judged and pressured by others
"I believed i could love the abuse out of him" One victim said about why she stayed. 

Distorted Thoughts: Being controlled and hurt is traumatizing, and this leads to confusion, doubts, and even self-blame. "I believed i deserve it," and, "I was ashamed, embarrassed, and blamed myself because i thought i triggered him." Two victims said about why they stayed. 

Damaged Self-Worth: Related was the damage to the self that is the result of degrading treatment. Many women felt beaten down and of no value, saying:"He made me believe i was worthless and alone," and, "I felt i had done something wrong and i deserved it."

Children: These women also put their children first, sacrificing their own safety: “I was afraid if he wasn’t beating me he would beat his kids. And I valued their lives more than my own.” And, “I stayed for 20 years while I protected our children, all while I was being abused.” Others mentioned staying to benefit the children: “I wanted my son to have a father.”

Family expectations and Experiences: Many posted descriptions of how past experiences with violence distorted their sense of self or of healthy relationships: “I watched [my dad] beat my mom. Then I found someone just like dad,” or, “Because raised by animals, you partner with wolves.” Some mentioned family and religious pressures: “My mother told me God would disown me if I broke my marriage.”]]> 2021-03-01 23:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/elijkast515/4roqx3kpqfbyciwx/wish/1255911017 Cycle of abuse elijkast515 https://padlet.com/elijkast515/4roqx3kpqfbyciwx/wish/1255944878 This cycle involves four stages:
1. Building tension
2. An Incident of abuse
3. Reconciliation
4. Calm 

1. 
Abusive partners often lash out in response to external stressors. Anything can fuel tension: family issues, trouble at work, physical illness, fatigue. Frustration and dissatisfaction intensify over time, often prompting feelings of powerlessness, injustice, anger, and paranoia. Sensing the simmering tension, you might try to find ways to placate the abusive partner and prevent abuse from happening.

2. 
The abuser eventually releases this tension on others, attempting to regain power by establishing control.
Abuse might involve:

  • insults or name-calling 
  • threats of harm or property destruction
  • attempts to control your 
        behavior
  • sexual or physical violence
  • emotional manipulation

3. After the incident of abuse, tension gradually begins to fade. In an attempt to move past the abuse, the abuser often uses kindness, gifts, and loving gestures to usher in a “honeymoon” stage.

4. 
To maintain peace and harmony, both parties generally have to come up with some sort of explanation or justification for the abuse.
The abusive partner might:

  • apologize while blaming others
  • point to outside factors to justify their behavior
  • minimize the abuse or deny it happened
  • accuse you of provoking them
They might show plenty of remorse, assure you it won’t happen again, and seem more attuned to your needs than usual. You might begin to accept their excuses, even doubt your memory of the abuse. Maybe it really was nothing, like they said.
