In the IPV post at thehappeningz.com I put out there some realities that many people don't want to deal with.
It was a public service announcement that is usually put out once every six weeks or so to help people who hang out or 'live the night life' to make sensible decisions and see their world through a more realistic lens so to bring their party time as well as their 'carnal existense' into focus.
I got some really outstanding responses via e-mail by a woman who didn't want to hear any of this stuff in her good time bar blog. I got another response from a bar tender who was really thankful for the information and found that it shed light on things in her world and in her past that she didn't have an answer for until now.
So since the IPV post didn't get a big response on thehappeningz.com web site but a ton of e-mail to the editor I have to ask the questions:
Did the subject of IPV (Intimate Partner Violence) hit a nerve with you?
If so, why?
How many people do you know that are in some way affected or live with being violated, humiliated, physically, emotionally or verbally abused by their partner?
Did you ever see a person engage in Intimate Partner Violence?
Did you ever wonder what to do for a person enduring Intimate Partner Violence?
Did you personally ever feel guilty or responsible for someone being violated, humiliated, physically, emotionally or verbally abused by their partner?
Do you know of any 'same sex' relationships in which one partner engages in violating, humiliating, physically, emotionally or verbally abusing by their partner?

i know a lot of women who got beat down. i don't care about what the state calls it, its a family thing or between families. Some women need to know their place. Mine does.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a woman intimidate her husband. She walked up on him like a street thug and shouted him down like he was a bad dog. She was as fat as a pig, gross and nasty - dude was thin as a rail. Maybe opposites attract, but I didn't need to see that shit.
ReplyDeleteBullies and abusers come in all shapes, sizes and sexes, don't they? It's kind of sad to realize and accept that people are being abused, including men. I wonder how the woman that FISHTANK104 mentioned treats her children (if she has any, I pray not) if she can treat her husband so badly. Reverse that too, I wonder how abusive men treat their children if they bully their wives. Now, consider how the children of abusers will treat their own children. The cycle is proven to be continued. It's a sickening reality.
ReplyDeleteI did all I could for a friend who gets the shit beat out of her including notifying the police and the local church she attends. The government has done little and I think she's gonna end up dead.
