Domestic Violence Awareness Recognition Education.
We need to stop this kind of violence. Domestic Violence tears families apart. It can cause children to be torn away from their mothers whom are innocent of this crime by State Offices such as Children’s Protective Services whose Social workers do not do their Job correctly and thoroughly enough to know that the innocent parties are to traumatized to really know what is going on around them at the time. I am by no means saying that all social workers are like this. But instead of believing the words of an abuser whom has had a history of Domestic Violence them should do all they can to help the victims of this and listen to all sides of the story and do all they can to help the true victims.

We can stop this by taking a stand for what we know is right. Help save a victim. A Domestic Violence Victim is anyone who is being physically, emotionally, and mentally abused by a family member, boyfriend or spouse. This is something that does not get better with time it will only get worse and with out help the Victims can not become Survivors. The will not make it out alive. Domestic Violence is a war that is being fought on a daily basis. So let’s do what we can to combat this Violence. By letting our children know now that it is wrong and that it is not a normal life style to lead, that violence is not the answer to everything in life. Also Educate them on how to Recognize the Domestic Violence so that we can break the chain now.
Domestic Violence is something that no one should ever have to go through, although there are many that do. Domestic Violence is a very serious disease that most people do not yet understand. It is something that most people just brush under the rug as if it doesn’t happen, at least not to them or in their family, until one cold chilling night comes along and it has hit close to their own home. When one of their family members has been beaten or murdered by the hand of their boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, of wife. Then and only then does it become apparent to them that Domestic Violence is REAL and a problem. Most people do not realize the severity of the damage that Domestic Violence can cause, until it hits home for them.
There are a lot of people that believe that if a person stays in or goes back to a Domestic Violence relationship after being abused the first time that they deserve everything that happens to them. That it is their fault because they stayed or went back. Some say the solution is to leave the abuser and have them arrested, but that is easier said then done. Most of the time the person or persons that is being abused is so terrified of what their abuser can and will do to them if they did try to leave, that they stay quiet. In 95% of the cases the victim is so brainwashed by their abuser that the abuser has the victim believing that they could not make it alone or without them in the world.
Most people do not realize the physiological damage that occurs when a Domestic Violence Victim is told day in and day out that no one would want them because they are used or damaged goods, how unworthy unattractive, how stupid they are, and they are not worth the air that god gave them to breathe. Being abused in this manner causes a person’s self-esteem to fall so low that they begin to believe the lies that their abuser says. By this time the victim’s self-esteem and self worth lay completely and utterly shattered on the ground in millions of pieces. Then what is replaced by the person everyone once knew is a traumatized shell of a person
Most Domestic Violence victims are so traumatized from being emotionally, physiologically, and physically abused that if they do make it out alive they end up having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD). Most of them do not know they have it until it is too late and everything they had is gone, their home, children, identity, and their life as they knew it. The only way to help is to talk about and take action against the disease we all know as DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
