Physical abuse (which includes sexual abuse) is an outrageous crime and there is never, repeat, NEVER any justification for it and I've heard all of them. Many abusee's are made to feel that it is their fault, that if only they did this or didn't do that everything would be alright. I don't care how much the abuser apologizes or makes promises to never do it again.....it's all part of the pattern of abuse. “But I love them and they love me and if I report it or say something they will get into trouble”. Well the abusee is the one in trouble and may end up dead, and as far as love is concerned, “SOMETIMES LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH”. Love in the case of an abuser is tempted by the sickness that controls the abuser and the abusee. |
