  • Domestic Violence and Child Custody - From the Frying Pan to the Fire of Family Violence - Can we bring justice to family courts? That's a highly political question, and I think the answer has more to do with the nature of the human beings behind the system and the misconceptions of those using the system to seek safety. We hear of battered women falling through the cracks of the system as much as those securing safety through the system.
  • Domestic Violence and Child Custody - Legal Psychiatric Ploys of Divorce Lawyers - When divorce and domestic violence are before the court, the children can often serve as the vehicle for the perpetrator to save face and maintain control over the family. Sound familiar? If you are in family court with an abusive partner, or abusive ex-partner, and there are children involved, you will want to know what this article reveals. Here is how your children can be leveraged to carry out a perpetrator's agenda in family court.
  • Domestic Violence Story Chapter Three - Domestic Violence Story - Chapter 3 5 police cars, 10 policemen. Searched the vicinity, never found him. When they left, he showed up. He looked at me and started screaming, "Who the hell did this to you!?" I only had one eye to look at him with and disgustingly looked at him while all my friends were there and said, "You did." He didn't believe it. He said he went into a "blackout." Well, my opinion of whether or not alcoholics actually do go into "blackouts" is neither here nor there.
  • Domestic Violence Story Chapter One - To show or not to show? To share or not to share? After deliberating, it was a no brainer for me to show other women (and men), just SOME of what I have been through. Yes, a picture tells a thousand words. But why did it happen? What did "I" do to cause it? Was there any domestic violence prevention that could have been done? Why did he do this? Many women ask these same questions. Sometimes there are absolutely NO "logical" reasons why things happen. Sometimes there are logical reasons. But none of them make us physically, emotionally, or mentally feel any better after they happen. Was this the only time? Well, I would love to tell you it was. But that wouldn't be the truth. And the truth is why we are all here, right?
  • SCHIP Legislation Can Prevent Future Violence - The US has the highest rate of violence and incarceration of all the Western Nations. Additionally, it appears that the rates of violence and murder in US cities are again on the rise. What can we do to stem the tide of children growing up to be criminal and violent in their families and their communities? We know that when the basic needs of children and adolescents are not met at home, they are at risk for behavioral and mental health problems. We also know that these children need services to prevent their behavior and mental health problems from becoming worse and entrenched.
  • Domestic Violence Divorce - Lost Mothers, Lied to Children and the Legal Abuse Syndrome - "Where is your Mom?" asked a little boy to another. The little boy replied, "I don't know." From his point of view, she was lost. She was gone. She left him. She abandoned him. ...And the conclusions go on and on, each one with more and more potential to fracture a young psyche. Eventually, it can. That's what you can expect when you have children with an abuser.
  • Domestic Violence In Gay Relationships - Gay domestic violence is probably the most underrated of all social maladies. It is commonly assumed that a domestic violence scenario would have to necessarily involve an abuser who is male and a victim who is a young female, child, or elder citizen. This consistently excludes the zone of homosexual relationships for the obvious reason that the interaction here is man to man and woman to woman, where Mars and Venus do not interact. So does the social malady of domestic violence depend on a heterosexual equation as is widely assumed? No.
  • When The Police or Courts Are Involved, You Need Specialist Criminal Lawyer - Police and courts are nightmares to most of us. We always try to avoid issues related to police and courts. Keith Richards quotes, “I’ve never had problem with drugs, I had problem with police”. This view is shared by the majority.
  • Family Violence - Cognitive Dissidence and the Puppet Child - The saddest part of family violence and the legal abuse syndrome is the impact on children, both on them and within them. When a child is severed from their protective parent—a silent epidemic—life for this child is never the same. First, they are led to believe that the protective parent abandoned them. From this, they are to conclude that this protective parent "really" doesn't love them.

  • A Look At Some Child Custody Questions - When husband and wife decide to split up there are questions to be answered. One area is that of child custody questions. Each individual should take it upon themselves to do some research on child custody. By doing this research they will have a better understanding of what the process will be. Both parties should try and work out an agreement for child custody. This will take a lot of the stress in dealing with this situation off of both of you. The judge when hearing a case about the custody of a child wants to know first and foremost, which parent is really putting the childs best interests first and doing their best to keep their kids out of the custody fight. The she said this and he said that approach is a sure way to loose favor with the courts as judges hate that .
  • Military Domestic Violence - Let's face it. Our government sent thousands of men and women into battle. They didn't know what they were getting into when they arrived in Iraq. Of course we sympathize with them, and we pray night after night they come home safe. And when they do, everything is different. He or she has changed. They are not the same person you remember. Is it their fault?
  • Why People Love Crime Series - It seems that all television offers today is reality TV and crime series, but what is the reason for this? Both are extremely popular and have an incredibly large fan base, but what is the real appeal of these sorts of shows? When it comes to crime series in particular, there are a few different reasons believed to explain their overall popularity.
  • Why Is Marital Therapy Ineffective Treatment For Domestic Abuse - We assume that a problem affecting two people in a relationship is material for marital or couples therapy. However, when the problem is intimate partner violence, this is absolutely not so! I longed for my children's father, my ex-husband, to stop his violent outbursts toward our family. The psychologist/doctor/family peacemaker in me said, “We just need to find the 'right' person or method to help fix this problem,” as though he had some physical aliment. This may sound familiar to those of you who have been there.
  • Domestic Violence And Elder Abuse - Domestic Violence and Elder Abuse – It’s Unforgivable It really may not be as unusual as it appears. It is a form of domestic abuse which is often not given the attention it deserves. Old age somehow seems to rob people of their rights to complain along with most of their other faculties. Somehow elders are seen as less than human with their weakened perceptions and altered appearances. Just because they have lost their powers of sight or articulation or mind, it really can’t be taken to mean that they don’t hurt or feel emotions. Thousands of essays on domestic violence issues are written everyday, but rarely does one come across one analyzing elder abuse, which also takes place in domestic circles.
  • Domestic Violence Story Chapter Two - Domestic Violence Story - Chapter Two Things seemed to calm down, and he even "allowed" my friends to come over to our place for the first time in the 6 months we had been living together. I wanted things to go so well, I worked very hard to get the food and drinks ready and cleaned diligently.
  • How Hotel Rwanda Saved Lives - In 1994, Rwanda was engulfed in horrific internal violence. The manager of the Hotel des Mille Collines – Paul Rusesabagina, worked tirelessly with an American Colonel to save over 1,200 lives. His efforts were remembered 10 years later, when the movie Hotel Rwanda celebrated his work and told the story of the genocide and violence that took place between the two ethnic groups in the country. For years, the Tutsi tribe was in control of the country and members of the Hutu ethnic group were treated with disdain.
  • How to cope with domestic violence? - Dear Agony Aunt My partner abuses me mentally and physically - what should I do? Agony Aunt Says: Ask a dozen people and each one of them will give you as many opinions. Remember, they are opinions. Ultimately, you have to make a choice - it's your life.
  • Abusive Relationships - What is the Difference between Being Abusive and Being an Abuser? - What is the difference between "being abusive" and "being an abuser?" I hear this question by people trying to determine if they are entangled in intimate partner violence, even when they don't know this term. What they want to know is: Am I in a dangerously abusive relationship? I think being abusive is a rather general way of describing behavior that violates you as a person; your rights, your space, your choices, yourself. It can come out of frustration, stress, lowered inhibitions, insecurity, fear, vulnerability, or any combination of the above. What is an Abuser? Being an abuser on the other hand, in the classical sense, refers to a person that fulfills a specific criteria.
  • Domestic Violence And Rape - When a man loves a woman he expresses it in various ways; the ultimate expression of his feelings of love would be the physical act of love making. When this same physical act of love is turned on its head and used as a weapon to express hate, it speaks for the extreme depths a human being is capable of descending to. Rape is forced sexual activity against the victim's wishes. It is the ultimate violence committed against a woman—body and soul. It is unheard of in the animal world and this fact should call for a re-think of what constitutes civilized society.
  • Video Games Don't Contribute To Violence In Real Life; They May Actually Reduce It - Video games serve many purposes. They can be used as a form of entertainment. They can be used as a stress reducer or as a safer outlet for underlying aggression. Also, they can be used to increase hand and eye coordination. Video games are good for the brain. They are much better than sitting in front of a TV watching a sitcom. Video games are good for young people because it gives them a sense of significance in the world. In the real world they have peer pressure, adult authority figures telling them what to do, and parents dictating their lives at home.
  • Affluent Spousal Abuse - Battered Queens: When the Rich Are Entangled in Abusive Relationships - Common thinking is that domestic violence is a misfortune that befalls the lower class. We hear about them more, we see more of them, we have public services to care for their needs...but that doesn't make them in the majority when it comes to domestic abuse. I would venture to say that we are looking at a relative representation of the population; not a socio-economic indicator of domestic abuse. Would you know a battered queen if you saw one? Moreover, would you recognize yourself as one if that were indeed the case? Who Are the Battered Queens? Battered queens come in all shapes and sizes. They can be doctors, lawyers, movie stars, financial experts....
  • Codependency, Emotional Violence & Domestic Abuse - If you find that being needed is more important to you than being loved, if you’ve been exposing yourself or others to emotional violence, if you are the victim (or the perpetrator) of domestic abuse – it’s time for your suffering to end. Issues with codependency, emotional violence, and domestic abuse are often produced early in life when a child’s upbringing includes influences that hindered their personal development. It is not their fault that this problem arose; but it is their responsibility to handle it. Oftentimes resistance like denial or fear can keep a person from confronting their situation. A person can feel helpless, out of control, and unable to escape their hell. They may be enablers, perpetuating the problem.
  • Mutilations in Zimbabwe Reflect the Human Condition - A recent CNN NEWS article refers to the violence over upcoming Zimbabwe elections to include the hands of opposition supporters being chopped off in order to discourage them from voting.
  • Teenage Suicide And Domestic Violence - Teenagers are normally defined in terms of their biological age and not their mental or emotional age. If so, they would come under the definition of being a child in an adult’s body. You look at a teenager, you see a young adult. Some teenage boys are almost six-foot in height by the time they hit their sixteenth year. Teenage girls are even harder to gauge. They may have the physical attributes of a much older woman, and worse, even talk like one, when they are least equipped to do so.
  • 15 Indicators of Violence in Men - In most cases of adult male aggression, there are warning signs of trouble long before any significant violence takes place. We can see several cases of violence and alleged violence in the news and in history.
  • What Abused Women Must Know When Seeking Help For Domestic Abuse - The last thing an abused woman needs to hear while seeking safety from domestic violence is that she’s crazy. Unfortunately, however, this may be one of first things she learns from the evaluating mental health professional. The Battered Women’s Movement and Clinical Psychology are as far apart as the North and South Pole. Yet, many people outside of these circles/disciplines believe domestic abuse treatment and advocacy are sub-specialties of the practice of psychology. Not at all so! After I fled from the danger I lived in Chicago, I retreated into a life of solace and wrote All But My Soul: Abuse Beyond Control. Creating that publication was the most amazing experience of my life—right up there with the birth of a child. It was my fourth child.
  • World Of Warcraft Warrior, It's All About Violence - Some people start playing World of Warcraft because they like the magic. But a lot of, not to say most, people play it because of the violence. Killing everything that stands in their way, running across the land trying to upgrade armor and weaponry or even selling stuff for money. They do this over and over again for many hours, days and maybe even years. Sitting there in front of their computer all they can think about is prepare and train for war against the rest of the people and creatures of World of Warcraft.
  • Family Violence Healing - Writing about a Mother's Nightmare of Abuse Beyond Control - Where did you get the where-with-all to write your book (All But My Soul) people continue to ask seven years after its publication.
  • What You Must Know When Seeking Help For Domestic Abuse - The Battered Women’s Movement and Clinical Psychology are as far apart as the North and South Pole. Yet, many people outside of these circles/disciplines believe domestic abuse treatment—and advocacy—are sub-specialties of the practice of psychology. Not at all so!
  • The Sadness of Separation and Divorce - Divorce and the Family For those who have never been involved in divorce, or for those who have brushed past it but never quite understood the intensity. Divorce is one big tangle that never really unravels. Five years on from a divorce, the parents are still surviving, although remaining bitter. The children are still shell shocked. As adults we all can handle the tangle, but the children are not mature enough to comprehend the frustration, and what appears at times, to be the 'lack of love'. This confusion carries on into their early adulthood. There are two particularly common side effects that happen as a consequence of splitting up; one is dyslexia, and the other is wetting the bed.
  • Violence Erupts In Zimbabwe - Human Rights Watch and other rights groups recently accused Zimbabwe’s army and President Robert Mugabe of unleashing “terror and violence” on dissenters of his 28-year regime. According to the Associated Press, Zimbabwe’s opposition party and its presidential candidate Morgan Tsvangirai have linked the recent surge in violence after last months presidential election to the security forces and “war veterans” that are loyal to Robert Mugabe. Mugabe’s regime blames the opposition party for the violence, which includes arresting scores of people, including women and their nursing babies, who had taken shelter from the violence at opposition headquarters in the capital city Harare.
  • Fighting Mortgage Repossession May Be A Battle - When somebody goes to buy a new or second house, the last thought on their mind is the possibility of defaulting on the payments. Their goal is to own a house in which to raise their family and have something of value to leave their children. Unfortunately, occasionally something happens that causes them to be unable to make the payments and the lender files with the courts for mortgage repossession. While the best way to fight a new repossession order is to make payment of any past due payments and stay up to date, this may not always seem possible.
  • How Alcoholism Affects a Marriage - Alcoholism in one or more partners in a marriage will negatively affect the relationship on many levels. Trust is broken, intimacy erodes, communication breaks down. Marriage statistics are uncommon because there are usually many issues involved in the break up of a marriage, and the problem of alcoholism is not always sited as the main reason for the break up, even though in some cases it is. Alcohol can affect a marriage through: Eroded or non-existent communication between the couple: As the alcoholism and the drinking escalates, arguments become more common and resentments build up. The alcoholic will resent his or her spouse’s attempts to interfere with their drinking. The non-drinking spouse resents the alcoholic’s inability to stop drinking. These resentments build up and will cause communication to break down.
  • Domestic Violence And Men Who Kill Their Wives Or Girlfriends - Men who kill their pregnant partners in cold blood are pure unadulterated evil in human form. There are no two ways about this. About 20 per cent of pregnant women who died during their pregnancy were murdered by an intimate partner. I had to read this a number of times to let it sink in, because it seems so unbelievable that there were that many men in relationships, who were capable of killing their partner and their unborn child. It is no longer an isolated or rarest of rare cases; it is endemic.
  • Domestic Violence And Crystal Meth Users - Domestic violence and substance abuse reached new depths with the availability of crystal methamphetamine as the new leisure drug of the masses. Going by various street names such as speed, crank, glass, and ice, this demon drug knows no race, creed, or status and is all pervasive in its abuse. Unlike marijuana or cocaine that needs to be harvested and then processed to reach the markets, meth can be synthesized in make-shift labs in the basement or the garage with ingredients available in the neighborhood supermarkets. In addition to this it is also smuggled across the borders by the powerful drug cartels for whom, this is million dollar business. What this means is that it is easily available to any man, woman and child who wants it, and therefore its implications in the domestic sphere are alarming.
  • Children And The Potential Harmful Effects Of Television - Since the dawn of television, children have found this an enjoyable and interactive pastime. Visual stimulation is preferred by children in comparison to any other media, and current figures report than children watch an average of four hours of television a day. These figures are much larger than they were almost half a century ago, but changes in lifestyle and technological advances make this inevitable. However, many people question how television is affecting the lives of modern children. Children`s television programmes began in the 1950s. By 1951 television showed up to 27 hours per week of television programmes aimed at children. The usual time slot was late afternoon and evening with programmes aimed at shorter viewing periods.
  • Domestic Violence:The Problem We Refuse To Face - “I remember one church leader’s wife who shared her story, once we had developed a trust relationship. Early in their marriage when she was pregnant, her husband became enraged and hit her so hard she was knocked across the room. He never hit her again, but all he needed to do was raise his voice or give that look to have her appease him and give in to his demands, peace at any price.” What Is Domestic Violence Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. This behavior may consist of but not limited to, domestic violence, partner abuse, and battering (physical, emotional, sexual, psychological abuse performed by one person against another).
  • Healing from Domestic Violence - The Rapture and Remedy of Writing for Domestic Abuse Survivors - I notice that when people are told to write as a) a way to keep records of the ongoing abuse episodes and domestic altercations, or b) for the healing effect, they recoil. If I didn't know better I'd think they felt as though they were getting an assignment right out of grade school.
  • Violence Against Women And Children: How It Affects Everybody - Violence against women and children comes in different forms and without help, the victims become lost in unhealthy cycles that affect everybody. All violence against women and children has a negative influence on the lives of the victims. Many victims become caught in a vicious cycle of continued abuse and shattered self-worth. If help is not available to these women and children, the devastating effects of abuse continue and create an impact on society. There are many different forms of violence to be aware of.
  • Metal Detectors In Baltimore Schools Not The Answer - In an effort to combat a growing problem with weapons being taken to school, some Baltimore schools are considering having metal detectors installed. On the surface this might seem logical and potentially effective. In my opinion, there are several issues that make this not the right solution to the problem. Unlike airports, for example, a school inherently has plenty of objects within its own walls that easily become a weapon….
  • The Real Danger of Domestic Violence - This past week I had to face a terrible reality: sometimes, there is no way to prevent the real dangers of domestic violence. I came to this reality after receiving a phone call from a friend of one of my clients, informing me that my client had been severely beaten by her ex-husband during an exchange of their two children in the courtyard of the local police department. My client is currently in intensive care and is unconscious. I am told by my client's family members that her jaw is broken, her left ear was almost severed off, and she suffers from swelling of her brain. The doctors do not know if she will regain consciousness or suffer permanent brain damage.

  • United States Bankruptcy Courts - Preparing to file bankruptcy will require you getting your documentation and statements showing proof of income and expenses together. The bankruptcy judge will require this information before making his or her decision of which debts will be discharged.

  • Healing from Abuse - How Wakeful Rest Can Heal and Enhance Health for Domestic Violence Survivors - Tell me more about the "wakeful rest," asks my proofreader. Well certainly, I think to myself. There is nothing I'd rather talk (write) about more. What is the wakeful rest? Ahhh, that is the magic...the gold...the sweet spot, wherein the mind and body mend. But before I lose myself in this discussion, let's not lose site of your question. How is this relevant to me, as a domestic abuse survivor?
  • Domestic Violence Healing - Psychophysiological Illnesses of Emotional Verbal Abuse - Migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, essential hypertension, chronic pain, insomnia, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, excessive fatigue are just a few of the ongoing complaints of domestic violence survivors. And it's not surprising. These conditions are ALL mediated by the sympathetic nervous system—a system perpetually "on" for individuals whose lives are entangled in domestic abuse. Stemming back to our caveman ancestors, we inherited a physiology that is built to protect us from the perceived threat of impending danger. And when present, sympathetic arousal occurs. For example, when the caveman saw a tiger, the thought "tiger" registered, activating a limbic system response of FEAR...ultimately, resulting in an adrenergic response that prepares the body for "fight or flight.
