As you know we have been working on our personal project and when I was was working on research I stunned upon something shocking. My personal project deals with domesticated violence but my main focus is the women who are being abused and what they go through.
As I was reading I noticed that people or women stay in abusive relationships because it becomes complicated to leave and that people who haven't been through the same experience don't know how serious it can get. Experts say that the limitations of leaving can be both physical and psychological. Craig Malkin, a clinical psychologist states that "People wind up blaming themselves for the abusive behavior of their partners differently,maybe they won't be abused." When I was reading this I saw they had questions to ask yourself based on your relationship. This helps you know if you are in an abusive relationship or not. Reading this changes your views about grown men who disrespect women.
When I was reading this that I found myself shocked. I was just suprised as to why people especially women want to stay and blame themselves in the end. No matter how many times I read this I still think to myself "why, why, why?". This makes me think less of women because we shouldn't rely on men nor do we need one to disrespect us because we are both more than that. I have heard that it's fact that women are stronger than men and that statement will remain true to my heart and soul. If I could I would tell women that we should feel beautiful in our skin and not let not let any man make us think any less of ourselves because we are strong. I will always believe that women should receive more credit than what we are given. Women have an important roll in this earth no matter what.
All I want is for women to know and remember that they shouldn't blame themselves for what happened in their relationship. I understand how hard it is to leave the person that you love but a day above ground is a chance to find another fish in the sea. Relationships can be difficult for sure but if you find yourself blaming yourself then it's a sign to drop the relationship. Don't fall in love with a guy or girl who uses you as punching bag.
