ABUSE

I pray for a time when men are gentle, loving and respectful...

I have a lot of thoughts on abuse, I feel men need to be educated in how to treat women and women need to know how to recognise an abuser. It's not so simple though... The victim sure doesn't see it coming, especially when the abuser is so loving and romantic as Hank in the article below (follow the link to read it). So all we can do is to continue to pray.

"We want to blame the victim of domestic violence — just as I, for a long time, blamed myself. Certainly I shouldn’t have married Hank. But the world a victim lives in — a world of isolation and diminished self-esteem  — is not so simple to undo. Once the domestic violence ball is rolling, it’s awfully hard to stop."
