    In my opinion, women in domestic violence relationships stay silent for many reasons. In my opinion, some women stay for financial reasons, may not know it's domestic violence that they are experiencing, don't know who to talk to and have no supports.
    I can relate to Donna because this is something I went through. I had no family supports and my finances were limited. I was finally able to save a little bit of money and left the relationship!

    Not so long ago women stood behind their husbands and that was all normal.
    But that's the end of a era now, almost.

I had shelter find me a shelter in Virginia where my family lived. He got therapy and deliverance needed. He changed totally. Only 1 percent of abusive relationships stay together. Married 33 years. After 11 horrid years became gentle. With right help we both healed.

    I encountered a situation where the woman of the house answered the door and dealt with the tradesman (me) while her man sat on the couch stuffing his face with a takeout salad. While she was talking to me, he loudly interrupted her, without looking up from his food. If he was going to leave her to answer the door and deal with me, he should not have been interfering with what she was saying. I looked him up, and found that he was an Ivy League grad, former US Marines captain, and a big-shot financier. A few months later, I was there again, and she'd kicked him out. The pandemic was too isolating for him, and he stared drinking. He needed to be in charge of everyone all the time, and working from home meant he had nobody there to boss around....except her, and she wouldn't take it from him.

    What may be worse is when parents treat children - young or grown - like this. That, too, is abuse and even more confusing and insidious.

    • @RedeemingOC
      @RedeemingOC Год назад

      yes i agree. so many children are falling victim to abusive behaviour from their parents and it needs to stop. More support provisions should be put in place for children suffering from abuse. Also it is even harder for children to recognise that they are being abused, as they trust their parents. So education in schools would be helpful. Im sure this happens in some schools already?

    • @calexprenas
      @calexprenas Год назад

      @@RedeemingOC Yeah it’s such a difficult situation as the kids NEED parental love, support etc in order to develop in a healthy way. I think you’re absolutely right that schools are in a unique position to be able to fill in some of the gaps and provide kids some of the needed psychological support and guidance that they arent getting at home and assess if further actions might be need to be considered in the case of outright abuse.
      Though in many, many cases of insidious abuse, parents who mistreat their children have no understanding of the damage they’re doing (some much more than others) or conceptualization of healthy parenting, even delusionally believing they are good parents, and when children start “misbehaving” or displaying mental health issues in response, it’s the children who are incorrectly assumed to have the problem and need help. Often parents are repeating dysfunctional patterns from their own childhoods because that’s all they know. Hence I think it’s even more important that PARENTS be educated as to the effects that certain parenting behaviors can have on children and taught healthy alternate paradigms - they need to know they are the ones that need to change, not their children.
      Not that that will always work or help, but the best case scenario for both children and parents would be to help the family become functional rather than dysfunctional, and it’s only the parents that have the power /maturity/ intellectual capability to change the dynamics.
      Also, I think our society needs to celebrate rather than denigrate those who don’t have children. Too many people have children for the wrong reasons and just shouldn’t.

    Although less common, Men get trapped in abusive situations as well. I know of two right now. My mom was trapped, my dad got out his gun when she told him she was leaving w/ the kids. I think most often learning to take abuse is learned. On some level We feel as if that’s all we deserve. There are many many types of abuse, it can come from a boy or girlfriend, our parents, a friend or family, our adult kids, coworkers, or bosses. It’s all about another person’s efforts to control you. And people get very creative doing it. Ghosting, or ignoring you is also a form of abuse. It is not love at all. So if it’s happening to u, know that the person DoES NOT love you, but does want to control you. Save money, plan your escape, explain nothing, tell no one who may tell the abuser, just be gone, hide if necessary to stay safe.

    6:13, No, Hannah! It's not your fault. Scott shouldn't be putting his hands on you like that. You don't need his permission to do anything and he shouldn't be mad at you for doing something without asking him first. I mean look at you, Hannah. You're so beautiful and any injury Scott has inflicted on you doesn't belong there. You deserve much better than that, Hannah. You did nothing to deserve this. Nothing! Do you hear me? You need to tell your family about what Scott is doing to you, you need to go the cops and press charges and you need to break up with him. I mean I know you love him and you think he loves you too but the things he does to you don't show it. You deserve much better than that, you know?

So you will be encouraged to know this has not really happened to Hannah. But it does happen to so many women and men and we made this film to help break these patterns and give victims confidence to stand up and say no and get free.

      You know, these kind of couple form because they „fit“ like a key in its lock. That lady in some way looks for a man that abuses her because it feels familiar, while a caring man doesn t. That is because, she was abused while growing up. Maybe her own father. The fact that you „don’t get it“ actually says that you don’t have that issue and for that, I am happy for you. Until that woman understands the reason why she is with him, she cannot heal and will not escape.

    These abusers are controlling, they will control you financially, mentally and emotionally, some men can't except that you don't want them back in your life because of how they have treated you, years of mental abuse and also physical, purposely making you struggle, while they sleep around with many women, taking drugs and when you confront them they get physical, and when you think your eventually free from them, they will use whoever they can to mentally abuse you, trash you as a person so no other man may want you, because they just can't bare to see you with someone who will treat you the way a woman should be treated, show you what love and protection is, the scars that are left behind are not just physical, its easier for physical scars to heal, its the mental scars which may never heal and the impact it has on the children is painful, but these abusers are so selfish they do not care about how they effect their children, because they are more interested in sleeping around and taking drugs, i can forgive but never forget and i'm sure its the same for many other women.

      My heart goes out to you and any woman who has suffered from this kind of abuse. No one deserves to be treated that way. I'm so sorry you went through such a traumatic situation. The scars of mental and emotional abuse can cut so deep and be hard to heal from. I admire your strength and courage for surviving it.
      It's awful how controlling and manipulative some abusers can be, chipping away at a woman's sense of self-worth. And using tactics to isolate her and prevent her from moving on is despicable. You're so right that the impact on the children is also devastating.
      I'm glad you mentioned how important it is to not forget, even as we try to forgive. Bringing awareness to these patterns of abuse is so important to help other women recognize red flags early on. Your experience and perspective could give hope and strength to others who may feel alone in what they're going through. Wishing you continued healing. Don't let that abuser continue to have power over you - you are strong and deserve happiness."
      In this sympathetic response, I aimed to validate her experience, express caring/concern, acknowledge the trauma, praise her strength and courage, agree about raising awareness, and wish her well in healing and moving forward. The goal is to provide emotional support and solidarity.

No man should EVER hit or be abusive to a woman and no woman should EVER hit or be abusive to a man. At the very end it states that 1-in-3 women experience domestic abuse AND ALSO that 1-in-4 men experience domestic abuse. I have NEVER seen a film that involves a woman abusing a man, as this is considered taboo and frowned upon; making the man appear as a wimp.

    When your brought up being abused it can take years to bellive that it's not ok, and that you deserve better.
    Until your in that situation it's hard to understand.

    My husband and I escaped abuse from both of our parents. They were alcoholics mean horrible drunks. We’re trying to figure out what to do next. I was in this situation with my ex boyfriend when I was 14 and 15. But my parents were there to support me. But they emancipated me at 15. So I guess that’s when the drinking began. Same with my husbands parents.

  • @StephenJackson1958

    😐 "The film highlights the different levels/types of abuse women or men may experience in an abusive relationship." Men? What men? When? Where? But we have to say that, don't we? It's like making clear that all ethnicities, faiths, pets and visitors from Venus are welcome in your Morris Dancing band.
    This is a worthy and laudable effort, truly, well above the polemic norm; even if to be blunt a little shallow or facile (for either "men or women"). What would have made it twice as courageous would have been to have it portray the male victims of female domestic violence, whose psychological traumas and physical scars persist for life - if, in fact, the victims have not been dumped six feet under. How should I know? Because I made a study of one of our society's most virulent taboos, growing in potency with every passing month, following what had been done to me and to other men I know. My own destruction started at the age of three or four, coming from what would later be diagnosed as "a typical low-grade sociopath". If only it had ended there...
    Am I saying that two wrongs make a right? Of course I'm not. But what chance would a film about brutality against men have of getting past the story-board, even if this accounts for forty percent of the domestic violence total? Let alone, of being automatically nominated for Goody Two Shoes awards where Good Two Shoes can squat smugly on their cosy cushions and see their Goody Two Shoes smugness affirmed. (You've not been nominated yet? Astonishing - just give it time!)
    Next time I come onto RUclips without signing in, I shall see my comment demoted quietly to where it deserves to stand: at the absolute bottom of the list. That's how we deal with people nowadays who say naughty or nasty things, and fill the room with the moral equivalent of a bad smell. Let's pretend they don't exist, and with luck they'll go away. "Lift going down, ladies and gents."
    What both women and men who suffer gaslighting, social isolation, brutalisation and the myriad other manifestations of emotional control need, is something a lot beefier than Middle Class Twee. Instead of dawdling with squeaky worthy quickies on your laptop, why not go out and talk to the survivors of Domestic Violence, yourself? Even if they happen to be ("Block your ears, Charmaine; now there's a good girl") m-e-n?

    I'm not even allowed to go to the kitchen to get something to drink and eat. After I literally faint he makes me food or a coffee. I worry if something was serious with me if he would just leave me for dead...I'm so confused and scared. I Love him, is that weird?

    • @jabzz
      @jabzz Год назад +3

      It sounds like you are in a difficult and potentially dangerous situation. It is not okay for someone to restrict your access to basic needs like food and drink, and it is especially concerning that they only provide those things for you after you faint. It's understandable that you feel confused and scared, and it's important to prioritize your safety and well-being.
      It's natural to have conflicting feelings when you are in a complex situation like this, but please remember that love should never come at the expense of your physical or emotional health. You deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and care. It may be helpful to reach out to a trusted friend or family member for support, or to consider speaking with a professional counselor or therapist who can help you navigate your feelings and options.

    Are abusive managers more likely to be donestic abusers ?

    • @raiefilms
      @raiefilms  10 месяцев назад +1

      I understand the concern behind your question. There can certainly be overlap between people who abuse power in domestic relationships and those who are abusive managers. However, I would caution against assuming all abusive managers are also domestic abusers. Each situation is complex.
      While some studies do suggest a potential link between domestic abuse and workplace bullying, it's important not to stereotype. Many factors contribute to unacceptable behavior. Some managers may resort to bullying tactics because of high stress, lack of leadership skills, or warped perspectives on achieving results. That doesn't excuse the abuse of authority, but understanding root causes can lead to more effective solutions.
      Regardless of the reason, abuse is never okay. I sympathize with anyone suffering mistreatment by a partner, boss or colleague. Every person deserves to feel safe and respected. If someone is being abused at home or work, there are resources available to get help and support. By raising awareness compassionately, we can create positive change.
      Does this help provide a thoughtful perspective? I aimed to validate concerns but avoid unfair generalizations.
