Its not just men that can be abusive so can women, but if a woman hits a man its either laughed at or ignored. A man should never attack a woman and a woman should never attack a man, it's wrong.

Even if you leave an abusive relationship you can still be in a lot of emotional pain that can continue to ruin your life so I'd suggest resetting your body and mind with dianetics. It's an interesting book. It explains how you don't have to put up with emotional scars

Be aware of the red flags very early on. Most of us grew up in very unstable homes, and environments where we were not validated or encouraged. So, this behavior is "normal" and loving. The narcissist love bombs us and seems like a wonderful person at first. The red flags are, the first time he/she insults you or belittles you; that's the deal breaker. I never saw it coming, I got ensnared. Once I understood what I was dealing with, I divorced him! Yes, at the age of 69, I divorced that monster! It's never too late! Get out, stay out! I still have panic attacks and PTSD and I'm free! These short movies are really very good! Thank you for bringing awareness about domestic violence!

[@sherriewilsey8613]

I couldn't watch this. My ex-husband was very narcissistic, verbally abusive even in front of our children. He always had to be right, had to win. I had always told him if he ever hit me I would have him arrested. I want people to know rape happens in marriage too. Eventually I did get hit, in the face in front of my two older children. And I had his ass arrested. A lot of good that did, the judge sent us to counseling for the sake of the children. As far as I was concerned, I was done. The divorce was bad, financially devastating for me. He paid child support only because the district judge had his wages garnished. That was back in 1996. Here it is 2021 and I'm still single. It can lonely sure but I'm contented and I will fight for peace.

(Wished I had the knowledge, courage & resources to have taken action sooner but I'm still standing ... and the "red flags" go up quicker now).

[@lindapatrick2296]

I stayed 18 long yrs, everyday of those scared to death when the next big beating will be. I thought when I was pregnant it would no be as bad, but he actually aimed for the baby within me. He threw me to the ground and tried to kick my 8 month pregnant stomach, I wrapped my arms around my knees to protect my unborn son. My neighbor called my aunt (our renter) to ask if she should call the police, she told her no. I finally saved enough money to pay cash for my divorce. Worked 4.5 yrs as an domestic violence advocate. The reason women don't leave is: you must find them a job, daycare, home for her children, food etc, its easy to say " she stays cause she must like it" which my dad would say.

Even if you do leave, having to share custody with a monster is the worst feeling. I left over a year ago, but soon we will have to go to court for custody and I have the terrifying reality that he may well get unsupervised contact with our children. How do mothers leave innocent children alone with an abuser? The system is so flawed. There is still the belief that even if a man is abusive, he can still be a good father and his parental rights are more important than the children’s rights.

I agree, I did get out of a 15 year abusive relationship and in another one luckily my new partner has never been abusive but his family has been to me and I never learned to be on my own or take care of myself and I think it’s important to learn who you are before jumping into another relationship and as her therapist he should have known better.

[@ButterfliesAreNinjas]

As a survivor of not only sex trafficking by my own mother and with the help of extended family throughout the southern states, with my two younger brothers as well where we would find ourselves in the ghetto's of Atlanta, GA(me age 4, brothers 3,2) thank god this man was amazing and protected us and did not harm us for whatever reason! I can remember he bought us a set of matching white German shepherds, but the main abuse of SA, DV and verbal were all directed onto me up to 6th grade. We moved around all over and were left with family or strange men or I was. The breaking point was when I was 11 my mother hit me for breaking up a fight between my brothers and I punched her back and told her if she ever touched me again that would be it for her. She admitted to abusing me, selling me all because she wished I had died instead of the son she lost before me. I have CPTSD and PTSD from childhood trauma but also being in four armed robberies with the latest being in September 2020...For the record I tried to get her chance after chance so my kids could have a grandmother even though I hated her but she picked one of my four and blatantly favored him and I put a stop to that immediately.' Also I have severe anger issues I am well aware of and I have blocked out most of my childhood before 6th grade and scents, music, sounds, lights, etc will trigger emotions. I know a main trigger is someone touching me especially if we are in a heated discussion not even in a fighting way and I know I see red literally. Why this is I have no idea but it has happened three times and I literally loose my sight, sound, hearing, and all I see is red and I feel rage. I don't even remember doing anything until the event is over and people have intervened. I have no memory from the time I'm touched until I'm removed. It's like a blank slate. Yes I know my trigger and I do tell my friends not to touch me without asking me same with doctors, etc. If I feel triggered I remove myself asap I'm also in therapy and I know what to avoid for the most part but when you compartmentalize you can't always guarantee you know all your triggers... It breaks my heart to see women in this situation as I was in it as a child and I can still be put back there without the physical abuse but by certain actions and words of others. I always tell everyone never ever lay a hand on me or it will be the last thing you do. Mine is more of a mental prison but it can then trigger a physical reaction. I also from a young age was able to tell men that were not good people like I knew my real dad was a pedo(I'm not sure if he started hurting me and that caused their divorce or what as they both are liars and he was a alcoholic) and I can still tell ones that like the kiddies...women as well.

[@phyllis5332]

Warning, spoilers ahead! These two short films are well done and obviously well intentioned. They are both problematic. The martial situation is clearly abusive and the film does a good job portraying how hard it can be to leave an abusive relationship and how help from friends and professionals is sometimes not welcome. The therapist displays several red flags for future abuse. He blocks access to a door to prevent the client from leaving his office, he grabs her arm, he crosses ethical lines, and he puts her in danger by seeing her outside his office and without her prior consent. He’s also angry and verbally aggressive with the woman answering phones. This may be an attempt to show that the counselor is passionate about protecting women and he is stymied by uncaring coworkers. This is evident when, in part one, the woman answering the phones is seen as bored and indifferent. It contrasts with a later scene, in part two, of the wife on the phone. She is friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. The pregnancy test in the ending scene does not bode well. It was especially disturbing when the therapist caressed a photo of the wife’s bruised face. His tactics are not the way to help people experiencing domestic abuse. He doesn’t really listen or offer steps or a real plan. The film does show how abuse in the home harms children. How about a film where a mother puts up with abuse for years because of her children. Then her daughter comes home from a date with a cut lip or bruises on her arm. The daughter dismisses it because she learned that’s acceptable in a relationship. Closing scene pans out to a car in front of the house. Inside the car the same woman’s son is telling his girlfriend “You would if you really loved me.” Yes, it’s hard to leave. Get out anyway. Document the abuse, have a backup plan, leave a getaway kit with a trusted friend. Take time to heal. Watch out for people who invalidate your experience.

[@phyllis5332]

Getting out may not mean you’re safe. But you’re not safe at home and your children aren’t safe in an abusive home. Get real help and support to get away and stay away. It’s difficult but worth it.

[@kalipono1]

I was noticing these things as well with the therapist however you're overreaching on an abusive therapist. they didn't know how to portray a passionate therapist because he lived through the sake abuse and lost his mother to his father. that was my immediate thought, not abusive. it's what the writers tried to convey. I see this more clearly because I, myself, am a writer. they should have done a better job portraying a passionate therapist. I got the point, though. I think I'm going to write a screenplay about an abused husband but make it look like he is the abuser....give it thatvtwust jn the end. I think this is more important to portray because of its lack of representation in any film or script. this is something that should be talked about. I had a dear friend who was almost killed by his wife. she was physically, emotionally, verbally abusive and he said nothing and she tried to kill him by poisoning him. this kind of abuse goes unreported and happens even more than people could imagine. to this film. it was well done. so tough to watch knowing this happen daily.

[@NeverendingTori]

@@kalipono1 Like you, I'm not totally convinced the therapist was showing signs of future abuse, but he was still a terrible therapist. Sure, he was passionate about helping her because her story hit close to home for him, but there was no need to insert the romance between them. That was the most problematic aspect for me, and it was completely unnecessary. He was her therapist, and he hit on her at the first sign of vulnerability from her. That is NOT OKAY, and any therapist in the real world would have lost their license for that shit. It was downright uncomfortable to watch. If they cut all of the creepy romantic shit from the therapist out of both parts, and his character was just a supportive, empathetic, PLATONIC therapist who was passionate about helping her because he related to her, and occasionally crossed some professional boundaries to make sure she was safe, it would have changed NOTHING about the story, and it would have been much more effective.

Any counsellor who would disclose his past to a woman living in a violent home should be struck off, because that's a clear breach of professional ethics. In fact, it's inappropriate to disclose his personal life in any way to someone with whom he's in a counselling relationship. If I thought I had sent a woman to see a counsellor who behaved this way, I'd feel ashamed and angry. His behaviour is also very controlling - it's just that in your films, he's being a nice guy.

[@JamesSmith-ei5xf]

[@taracollins5597]

Sadly, not all mothers are good mothers. My mom divorced my dad after many years of marriage, claiming he was boring but had been abusive to her (he was a hardcore alcoholic & I know he was verbally abusive not sure about physical)...but when she left my dad she was already in A MUCH WORSE relationship with a disgusting demon in human form. And she subjected her kids & everyone who entered that house to his abuse...she never stopped it. He abused her too. So not all moms are good moms.

[@NYCBIGAPPLE]

@@taracollins5597 some do not know how to get out of the abuse; others suffer with PTSD (& to them, the narrative in the head says, this is all you're worth). Fear paralyzes alot of us from doing things (fear of the unknown holds us back). I pray for safety & more resources for anyone in an abusive relationship (no one should live in fear or terror). I pray for healing for all victims.

[@RoseDawsonworld]

There's one little detail people need to truly understand: you can not help someone who doesn't want to be helped.she just kept going to therapy because she started to like the guy. I know people will go wild in the reply section but I believe these women don't have a backbone. This is a simple matter: your significant other starts disrespecting you, you call him out and put boundaries. He crossess them you walk away. Violence needs to start somewhere and these women accepted disrespect until it turned into violence. I honestly have no sympathy for these women

I am a survivor of domestic abuse myself but it wasn't my Son's Dad, he's actually a good man that still helps me to this day. My Son did see one of my abusers hit me, but he saw me fight back and beat the living hell out of him then call the law on him. Both my Son and I played it smart and let him leave marks on us, my Son was like 12. I beat my my ex unconscious and tied him up with a jump rope to the railing on the front porch, the police came and got him and later called twice once to say he was peeing blood, the 2nd time he was misbehaving so I told them if I could beat his ass so they to get busy lol 😂

It's better for me to leave in the street and have my peace. Than to leave with a beast in a home?

[@magicmoonart]

I have always said this but I guess some people are too scared to face uncertainty like living on the street. It can be rough. Not just because you don't know where your next meal is coming from but also because of homeless politics. You can very well be abused by other homeless people if you unknowingly invade their turf

[@greentree730]

If you tell your partner to stop a certain thing that is upsetting for you and they do not stop, you have a problem. Anyone that truly loves you would stop a minor things like smoking in the house, flushing the toilet, not making fun of you in public, etc. If they will not change more minor issues, then what happens if it is verbal or physical abuse? The first time any controlling behavior begins or actual abuse of any kind, pack up and leave. If you have said, don't swear at me three times and he doesnt stop, he is not going to stop. You cant say, dont ever hitme again, he is going to hit you again. Dont stay, make a leaving plan and leave even if it means going to a shelter. Never leave when he's home like in dumb movies, no way. Get out.

[@ojoalaba1382]

It's so sad.. sometimes too much trauma can end to madness isn't it better to leave an abuse husband and save your children of lifetime traumas than to stay with an abused husband all in the name of not wanting to hurt your children. If you die your children will be more hurts save yourself and save your children your children needs you to be strong for them

[@DanielCarrier-oo5zh]

One of the reasons why we go from one abusive relationship to another is because we don't give ourselves time to heal from the other relationship we don't go to church we don't get in the Bible we don't talk to Jesus we don't talk to the Holy Spirit we don't ask God for his advice or after the relationship we just dive right into the next one and it gets worse and worse give yourself time love yourself more than you love others never more than Jesus he's always first❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@beverlylewiskokoue2452]

Once trust has been violated in such a manner, healing is never complete. It is a constant battle to keep going if you have experienced long-termed abuse. It is not easy--Nor is it meant to be, if healing means forgetting the lesson. From this point onward, be mindful of how you allow people in your life to treat you. There is no excuse for the abuser. Never feel badly or take the responsibility onto yourself for someone, who hurts you. Know that you are enough. You don't have to be in a bad relationship to feel complete. You deserve to feel safe, and you deserve happiness. You are enough.

Family friends strangers or people around can give advise but when it's ignore then obvious means that holds a trigger inside him that may explode much worse if you pushed his limits.

Oh great.just great. Now women who are victims of domestic abuse are given the impression that when they leave their abuser they'll automatically walk into a fairytale life with their counsellor of all people???? What the actual hell? This is an unrealistic portrayal of what really happens in these situations. Forget how unethical and unprofessional it is for a counsellor to get so involved with a client. How in the hell is this about helping victims of dv or spreading awareness? Whoever made this "film" wants their head looking at. Someone who has been through DV is vulnerable and definitely not in a state of mind to be entertaining any sort of romantic relationship nevermind obe with a so called counsellor. This is the sort of rubbish that sets women and men back. It's certainly not helpful at all!!!
