Spouse Abuse Stories Reveal Details Of Living With An Abusive Partner

By Michael Obrien


Spouse abuse stories, are regretfully, something that a lot of people have become accustomed to hearing. These stories can be seen in the media, and they are talked about online. However, despite the influx of these stories that exist, it is surprising that there are still so many people that find themselves in these types of situations.

One of the primary questions that people ask, when they hear about someone that is being victimized is why the individual does not leave their abuser. This is a great question that gets a lot of conflicting answers. Unfortunately, most people that have been involved in abusive relationships, believe that they are the ones that are causing the abuse.

Usually, individuals that find themselves in a domestic violence situation, are in this type of situation, because the abuse did not start out physically. Typically, an abuser will work on breaking the person down mentally and emotionally, before they ever strike them. Once the individual has been beaten down mentally, that is when the physical attacks begin occurring.

By the time that the physical attacks start happening, the individual has already been beaten down to the point, where they feel like they are the ones that are responsible for what is happening to them. They have been driven to believe that they are receiving what they deserve. They start questioning what it is that they did wrong, to put themselves in the situation that they are in.

Most individuals that are getting abused, try to put themselves into the abusers shoes. They make excuses for the reasons why they are getting physically attacked. They try to place their abuser on a pedestal, and they believe that if they can change, and stop making them mad at them all of the time, then the abuser will cease the abuse entirely.

It can be difficult to try to put yourself in the shoes of someone else. Individuals that abuse their spouses are horrible people. However, until you have personally experienced domestic violence, you cannot judge one person or the other. People often lash out at victims, telling them that they are stupid for staying. This is no way to help an individual get out of the difficult situation that they have found themselves in.

Most victims find it difficult to escape an abusive relationship, because they do not have anyone else, but their abuser to help them. Typically, the abuser will insist that the victim cuts all of their ties that they have with other individuals in their lives. They will make the victim believe that they are alone, and that there is no one they can turn to.

Spouse abuse stories can tear at your heart. However, before questioning why anyone would stay in this type of dangerous situation, it is important to see the situation from their point of view. Ask yourself, if you were in the same situation, and had children to take care of, and a life to live up to, if you would stay or leave. Of course, most people will say that they will leave. However, for some women, and even some men, leaving to them is considered worse than staying. The only way to break the cycle is to teach individuals that there is always a way out.
