What Should Women Do From An Emotionally And Psychologically Abusive Relationship?

Women abuse is a problem that plagues society in numerous ways. It is a problem that lacks proper definition in today’s society, and as a result has many misconceptions regarding the subject. It has been a problem that has been going on for centuries and has only recently been discussed as inappropriate and a disgusting act against women. The stereotypical family of a mother, father and children, loving, caring and happy with each other is always depicted on television. Real life relationships and families range from happy and loving to extreme dysfunctional in today’s society. Not every relationship and family experiences the “haven in the heartless world” (Momirov, 2011), many experience more heartless world within the family. This paper will focus on women abuse within the family. The purpose of this paper is to explore women that are victims of domestic abuse and the social structures that create the social problem women will face for the rest of their lives. This paper argues that neoliberal state policies create the social conditions that force abused women to stay in abusive relationships. This paper covers women abuse through three main parts. Part one of this essay will

Working thesis: Many victims of abuse continue a relationship with their abuser because they do not recognize the signs of abuse.

In many instances, when someone hears the word abuse, they think of physical abuse. The fact is psychological, also known as emotional, abuse is the most prevalent form of abuse. Having witnessed individuals that are close to me subject themselves to this type of abuse in a relationship and remain in it, I was curious to know more about the effects of psychological abuse. I asked myself questions like what is it? Why do people abuse others this way? Who can be effected? What are the long term effects of being abused? My goal is to be able to sympathize with those who are experiencing psychological abuse and ultimately find a way to lead them to help.

Unfortunately violence and abuse are very common in the United States. They can be expressed in many ways such as physical, emotional, mental, sexual, financial, and even spiritual abuse. The victim can suffer major health and mental problems caused by the mistreatment. Not only does it affect those involved, but also those who witness the violence. It is a very difficult cycle to break, as the abuser tends to continuously abuse the victim, even when they claim that they have changed and will stop.

Introduction: I feel that dealing with clients who are the survivors or current victims of abuse is the most intricate and sensitive subject I have studied. Emotional and physical abuse of children and adults can take place at any age, in any country or culture and at any level of society. Forms of abuse are massively varied and can be motivated by many factors including sexual gratification, control, fear or even love.

“Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main resources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.” –Bertrand Russell. To sum up how the abused feel is unfathomable due to everything they go through. The beating, the hiding, the fear, and the vulnerability these people go through day to day fearing to say anything because their abuser may find out and take their anger out on them. The

The CDC reports that nearly half of all men and women in the United States have been psychologically abused by a romantic partner, while around a quarter of women and 1 in 7 men have been physically abused [2]. This is a dramatic difference from areas like the United Kingdom, where 8.2% of women and 4% of men have been abused [3] One in three people experience abuse by a romantic partner by the age of eighteen [4]. In 2015, 87% of hospitalized abuse victims in New York state were women, and were admitted more often than male victims [5]. This can likely be partially attributed to traditional gender roles, which assume that men are “stronger” than women and are “weak” if they are hurt by a woman.

Why do women who are in an abusive relationship stay? Why can’t they just say enough is enough and leave? Many women don’t even realize that they are in an abusive relationship because they don’t know that they are being abused. Domestic Violence has to do with physical, emotional, and sexual abuse between intimate partners who often live in the same house hold. Abusive relationship have been going on so for long and women should be aware of the situation. Some impacts on the violence have a huge effect on women health, their relationships with others and how they feel about themselves. The pattern of the abuser could cause a control over the victim being abused. Domestic violence ranges from many different parts of the world and in some places

The article that will be discussed is “He loves me; He loves me not: Attachment and Separation Resolution of Abused Women” (A.J.Z Henderson, K. Bartholomew, and D.G Dutton). It is a study where sixty-three abused women were being assessed of leaving their abusive relationships. The study lasted six months, where the women’s feeling, their thoughts, and behaviors regarding their separation from their abuser were recorded. The study asks why women stay in the abusive relationships. R.J. Gelles says it well, “ Unfortunately, the answer to why women remain with their abusive husband is not nearly as simple as the assumption that underlies the question.” Several psychological theories suggested like battered women syndrome, psychological entrapment, and the survivor theory. The leading theory discussed in this article is the “Attachment Theory.”

Abusive relationships are very dangerous, yet very common. Many people are an abusive relationship, and it is very difficult to notice. Sometimes the person hides it very well, and other times we refuse to believe, or acknowledge that a person can do anything

Part 3 was mainly to discuss the findings of the research as discussed in the literature review. The findings, in this case, are discussed independently to ensure that they are well understood. Some of the suggestions for future research include researching the various methods that can be used by a person to get out of a violent relationship. Some people stay in abusive relationships because they feel that they have no alternative. Researching on various ways to recognize abuse in a relationship is also an area that needs to be researched as some people maybe in such a relationship, but they are not aware of it. They may think that the occurrences are normal and are, therefore, not concerned.

Every second someone is getting abused physically or emotionally. People often dismiss emotional abuse because it is easier to hide. However, it is just as strong as physical abuse. Matter of fact, emotional abuse is a gateway to physical abuse. Many people are being abused and are often scared to get out of the situation. They feel alone and vulnerable. It is one of the most dismissal case in the world. In some countries or cultures, it is completely acceptable for a man to beat on a woman. However, it is one the most despicable crimes for someone to beat on someone weaker and to break the person down mentally and emotionally. Physical/mental abuse is one current social problem that present the greatest concern to

Today, in current modern society, women and men are continuingly questioning traditional biblical teachings about deity. Even though numerous people claim that God is beyond gender, history constitutes as evidence of referring God to “Him” as masculine and addressing Him as Lord, King, and Father, further providing a strong conditioning factor in our lives, whether one is religious or not. Rituals and duties have been placed in the hands of men, and the hierarchy has been put firmly in place, therefore revealing that their worth has been subordinated and demeaned in the structures of both society and church. Modern feminists and research reveal that this assumption is mistaken. Lady Wisdom’s attributes and various other examples prove why biblical concepts are relevant in light of our contemporary environmental situation and the experience of women.

Eve’s “lowliness majestic” is perhaps what enchants Adam the most. He is captivated and totally mystified by Eve’s very nature. Adam seems to understand the nature of humanity based on the qualities that he sees in himself, which at first seems safe, as he is the first man. However, he is perplexed by Eve’s completeness—perhaps because the qualities that Eve lacks are the ones that Adam values most in himself! Beholding his wife, he remarks that by design and intention she is his “inferior” (541): her “inward faculties” (542) are not as useful as his own, and she does not as closely resemble the Maker as he does (543-44). She is not designed, as Adam is, with the desire or capacity to rule over the other creatures (544-46). These things are not true of Eve, so Adam finds it difficult to understand why she seems “in herself complete” (548). He marvels that even as she lacks the qualities that resemble the Maker, she seems “so absolute,” not lacking anything (547). Eve is complete, she is a “guard angelic placed” to Adam—one sent as a helper and a protector (559). He is captivated by how “what she wills to do or say,/Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best,” even though the man was intended to be the wisdom-giver (549-550). Adam’s attitude can be

Give her of the the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
