A Woman In An Abusive Relationship

Although we lost Ellen Pence, a woman who changed how domestic violence is addressed, in 2012, there are many lives that are being saved to this day because of her work. Ellen Pence found her calling in 1977 when she began working for the Minneapolis Housing Authority that helped individuals relocate with housing complications (StarTribune, 2010). It was then that she immersed herself through domestic violence cases and set the standard for addressing these cases. Ellen Pence is especially known for establishing the Duluth Program, a program that address batterers in the court systems, and Praxis Training, which are training on addressing domestic violence for law enforcement, advocates, community agencies, and institutions. Pence’s 35 years of service change the way domestic violence cases were handled, educated key players in domestic violence cases, and showed the world what it was like to be a victim of domestic abuse. Without her efforts, many individuals in power addressing these cases would be lost and those to who are victims would not be understood as they are today.

In this book, Dunn approaches the cold hard facts to intimate stalking, and the effect it has on its’ victims. Using first hand interviews and prior research, the book introduces all the different stages of stalking, as well as the different effects that these stages have on victims. The book also explores the relationship between the criminal justice system and the victims as well. Dunn highlights the idea of “secondary victimization” explaining that many of these women struggle with the justice system because they are not being taken seriously, which gives them more feelings of victimization because of our justice system. The cases of victimization are very difficult to prosecute because of the lack of evidence, and reliance on hearsay of the victim, which is difficult because some people use this law to frame their ex-significant others in order to get back at them. The different stages of stalking and different reactions of victims are discussed in the following paragraphs.

The cycle of abuse starts when an individual is abused and then the perpetrator feels regret. The guilt leads the perpetrator to ask for forgiveness and engages in positive behavior towards the victim. The victim does not leave the abuse because he/she “perceives few options and feels anxious terminating the relationship with the abusive partner, feels hopes for the relationship at the contriteness of the abuser and does not call the police or file charges.” In addition, after the victim forgives the perpetrator the couples experiences a honeymoon stage. During the honeymoon, stage the victim is optimistic about the relationship’s nonabusive future. After the honeymoon

Even though Battered Person/Women Syndrome is now more of an accepted argument in a court of law because of it the result of a great deal of psychological abuse and stress, there is still controversy surrounding it. Because of this, the legal definition of battered person syndrome relates to the Oakes Test because of limiting interpretation within the Criminal Code. Which further causes an “overriding [of] a constitutionally protected right or freedom.” Simon Fraser University, n.d.) In other words, because Section 718.2a through e of the Criminal Code - R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46 completely ignores whether or not the offender themselves were abused for months or even years on end before they committed an offence, therefore it not only puts on

In The Stranger, the author exposes the audience to many unhealthy relationships that may or may not be identified. In part one of The Stranger the novel introduces Salamano, Meursault’s neighbor, and his dog who is in an abusive relationship some may consider physical and verbal. This type of relationship is most remembered throughout the book because it is physical abuse but is it so different from the relationship Meursault had with his deceased mother? Some readers argue that no harm was inflicted onto the mother by Meursault, therefore, cannot be considered an abusive relationship but neglect is still on the table for a factor in their connection. The correlation between Salamano and his dog can be compared to Meursault and his mother in many ways but each link has different details. The relationship Salamano has with his dog is more loving than what Meursault had with his mother.

Throughout the years, there have been immense efforts to expand knowledge about the experiences women have endured in violent relationships. The emergence of internal, external risk factors, correlates, and causes of intimate partner violence has increased rapidly in recent decades. Although there has been a rise in many supportive groups, there are still various barriers that exist and prohibit women from seeking help to detach themselves from a violent relationship. In reading Roz story, I have learned of the many barriers to understand, “why couldn’t she just leave?” Although this question may have no straight answer and may even have hindered implications, I feel that patriarchy plays a role in this intimate partner violence. The

Healthy relationships involve a variety of different aspects such as respect, trust, and consideration. Unfortunately, some relationships aren’t meant to be healthy and they often turn to abusive relationships. Abuse can be physical, emotional and or sexual. Physical abuse are seen in various ways such as punching, kicking, choking, and or any other form of physical violence intended to hurt the other person. For a person who has experienced an abusive relationship it may be difficult for them to describe those particular feelings and the pain that they’ve gone through. One of the most important and original poets of the twentieth century is known as May Swenson and In her poem “Bleeding” she addresses the important issue that is recurrent in society; she embodies her personal life and illustrates the theme of abusive relationships, and it lets us as the audience gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between an abuser and victim through the significant use of symbolism, form and personification.

The IDD measured the duration, severity and the presence of symptoms using a 22-item self-report. The IDD in this study was not used to diagnose a major depression just to measure the severity of the symptoms (Pineles, et al, 2014). This results from the high level of stress and constant fear experienced in abusive relationships (Pineles, et al, 2014). Furthermore, most cases show that victims experience a combination of abuses such as financial and physical, psychological and financial and verbal emotional and sexual (Pineles, et al, 2014). Therefore, victims often dwell on the demeaning factors of their abusive relationships which negatively affects their self-esteem and self-worth (Pineles, et al, 2014). Victims tend to blame themselves

A good relationship comes with honesty, love, safety, trust, and communication. A bond where two partners respect each other with no disrespect. A partnership is nothing compared to a fairy tale. Though, all individual goes through its ups and downs while trying to cope through a rough day or a long day. Just like when two partners come to agreements and disagreements more than likely will have to talk about it without being emotionally and verbally abusive. In this case not every relationship turns out to be healthy. Unfortunately, the word “Abuse” is very common in today’s society and most people are inclined to stay in toxic relationships for many reasons, though, many cannot find the strength to walk away.

An example of an unfair treatment was enduring an emotionally abusive friendship. She was standing all alone in gym class and I offered to partner up with her. Her name was Anna and she was a genuinely an amiable person. However, her attitude transformed into something ghastly. Anna would constantly go through my phone without my permission, her weapon was my insecurities for her own advantage, manipulate me on who I can be with, and often made me feel uncomfortable with hugging and be touching me. Feeling stressed and depressed to the maximum being around my closest friend, just trying to appease her that I didn't notice how toxic she truly was, until my friends told me that I began to notice how clingy, overbearing, and manipulative Anna
