Greenleaf - Abusive Boyfriend Scene (S2E16)

[@asiaz248]

Sophia wasn’t wrong for speaking up & protecting her cousin & her daddy wasn’t wrong for punching him

Exactly. It wasn't wrong for Isaiah to put his hands on his girlfriend Zora but Jacob is wrong for throwing the holy ghost hands on Isaiah? The double standards kill me 😭

When you protect them, is when they get the upper hand to do it again and again. Stand up for your self and fight back. Let them know you're not afraid to stand up for yourself.

[@missstranger7697]

If a girl is brainwashed she can't do that, but if she was taught to think for herself from a young age, she has more possibilities of escaping.

[@AlmondJoie]

With an abuser, the only way to truly fight back is to LEAVE. Covertly, quietly, being wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. Without even so much as a word or glance, the abused should never announce their plans to leave.🤫 Escape ... don't look back. Don't ever return.

[@katherinejoseph7060]

@@AlmondJoie I know a lot of people that get abused and stay for the 'sake' of marriage and love. That's bullshit. Love, Relationship, History is not an excuse to be Disrespected on ANY level. It works both ways for men and women. Most people let their emotions control them to a point where they feel like they can't live without that person so they stay no matter how badly they get treated.

[@AlmondJoie]

@@katherinejoseph7060 For each of us, we only have one life -- THIS LIFE to live. Stay or Leave, no one else can make the choice for one who is being abused. Regardless of the reasons why one may choose to stay, or choose to leave, it is their choice to make, even if they only have the Lord on their side to bring an end to the demonic madness. For me, it was either leave and live, or stay and die. I chose life, and when God opened the door for me to leave, I ran through it. May God bless all those who are being abused to find the strength to dream of a better life free of abuse, and the determination to safely bring it to fruition.🙏🏼🛐🕊️

[@kepecos]

Amen to all you beautiful people! You’re right! GET OUT IF YOUR PARTNER PUTS HANDS THE FIRST TIME.

[@LeratoM98]

The reason why an abuse victim usually defends the abuser is this: abusers don't usually start with physical abuse because they know you'd obviously leave immediately. They start with emotionally and mentally abusing you through series of gaslighting and manipulation, etc to emotionally capture you. Then by the time they start physically abusing you, they know they already have you under their control mentally and emotionally so you're less likely to leave. It starts in the mind.

[@Morgan_Layfay]

My best friend hid her abuse for a long time because she knew what her family's reaction would be.. she was terrified not only of him, but of losing those who really loved her due to their reaction. When someone is being abused and comes to you, keeping calm and reassuring and NOT reacting psychically can make a major difference. They've suffered violence, they don't want or need anymore.. it was heartbreaking, but she did the legal route and it benefited her more than her dad handling the situation. Her dad is still with her and that monster has been gone for over 8 years, he's abusing someone else now sadly..It's a double edged sword.

Those who abuse others will only end up abusing themselves.

[@haniforever]

The “I won’t do it again” is classic and it reminded me of a book I read recently, “It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover. There’s this one thing I earnestly hope those in an abusive relationship understand and remember. Your partner does not necessarily have to be a bad person to be abusive towards you or anyone else. It might be a way of dealing with traumatic experiences or there could be other explanations to their behavior, BUT that doesn’t mean their abusive behaviors are acceptable, it’s NOT. It’s NOT ok for you to suffer, to be abused to bear the brunt of it all.

[@ihaveanaceupmysleeveandits1611]

Nah if you are abusive whether it's due to trauma or whatever and you don't become aware of it and work on it then you are a bad person. Trauma doesn't excuse only explain.

At that stage in a relationship with an abuser, you are no longer in your right mind. They wore you down, your value and your ability to think for yourself has eroded to basically nothing.

I like to believe I could never get caught in an abusive relationship because they’re suffocating. I’ve gotten really, REALLY good at recognizing toxic behavior and although it is SO addictive to stay with the abusive person because when they’re not abusive, you love who and what they are…those moments that they break you down and make you cry are enough for me to Chuck up the deuces. NO ONE should ever hurt you and make you question your self-worth!! No one should make you ALWAYS feel at fault. No one should make you dread waking up in the morning. Get really good at learning to live without certain people. It’s hard at first, it’s like withdrawal but if you can, get you some distance between y’all and the longer you spend outside of their influence, the sooner you realize DAMN! I’m happier away from this person! I can survive without this person! Being around them is like being in a black hole where everything is warped in a way that benefits THEM. Get outside the black hole and readjust to reality. They are not everything and you are not the monster they make you out to be. You can find love outside of them, even if it’s just love for yourself. This goes for men and women. Stay safe out there bros.

To those who do know abuse victims, you will always make excuses for them, you believe they will change, you invested so much that ending it is terrifying because they make you feel without them you are nothing, you are afraid you will never find someone to love you and your scared to be lonely. You blame everyone for getting in your business, they isolate you from everyone you care about and care about you and soon you become almost like them. Bitter, cold, abusive and rude.

I defended my stalker even when he nearly got my family in big legal trouble, and it took my mom-an abuse survivor, mind you-blocking his number to get me to finally learn to stand up for myself.

[@angelcrowder9857]

I had to step away from this and think about it. There are several things wrong here. These parents raised good kids, they taught them see something, say something. One, if that had been my friend or relative getting hit, there is no way i am going for back up, i would have hauled off and hit him. Two, going back to the adults to tell them what happened was enough time for the other girl to get her story together and cover for what happened. Three, whatever the conversation was about between the girl and guy was making the guy feel less than a man, feeling inferior to his girlfriend and that is not what men do as society dictates. Four, it's a matter of self esteem with the girl who was hit. He hits me because he lives me. Admitting to the abuse means there is something wrong with the relationship and it will end and she will be alone. Five, i am all four a man standing up for the girl whether it's a father, uncle, brother. Again society dictates a girl or lady does not raise her fists in anger, it's the man's job. A girl or woman should be able to defend themselves.

Baby Girl needs therapy and needs to be reoriented that's it's not alright to accept violence in a relationship or marriage.

[@diva80]

I seen that in real life when my older sister got hit in the head and face by her husband and when my niece and nephew starting crying,he hit them too and I stood up for them,I kept slamming him to a closet door till it broke off its hinges.

Speaking as a Domestic Violence Survivor, abusers go for your weaknesses and your insecurities, even some that you never knew that you had, and they play on them. Then they start to slowly isolate you from your friends, family, etc..., anyone who can build you up, and show you the abuser's true colors. They'll fix it to where you're totally dependent on them for everything, and some will even tell lies on you, and make you look like the monster. I was lucky to blessed with a strong survivor instinct, and the first time my abuser laid his hands on me, I started making a plan to leave him, and when the time came, I grabbed my daughter, and ran with her. It was like Mission Impossible getting back to Germany to my parents, but we did it. They say that they won't do it again, but they always do. There's a honeymoon phase, and then they're right back to their same old tricks. You never know who's going to come through the door Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde. You remember how you use to be before you met them, and you grieve for your old self, and you're mad, because you didn't see through your abusers lies. Just know that it's not your fault ever, because abusers are very convincing, and they're also great actors. When they do hit you, and you have children, or want children, think about what you'd do if someone abused your daughter or son, and had them scared all the time to make a mistake, and you'll know that you'd want to beat that person to a bloody pulp, so be an example for your children, and when you see a chance to leave, take it.

I don’t think people who are going through abuse really know how outlandish the excuses sound.. “ I got hit by a door “ I am so glad her cousin spoke up and her father did something about it

[@yiin4]

wish I had my father when I was going threw this similar situation .

[@lovefromwonderland]

It's sad victims condition themselves to believe this type of behavior is okay. I'm glad Sophia spoke up and said something because with the way she was covering for him, and so easily too... you don't know how many of these situations end tragically.

[@FandomNerd-qu3cl]

Because they are weak minded

[@drewwallace5227]

No she’s not okay. She’s being brainwashed into believing it’s ok for her to be abused. I have seen this happen unfortunately I tried to save my friend but she lashed out at me.

[@da_h1i_aa]

if your friend lashed out on you then its on her for being an idiot, you did all you could, but now whatever happens isn't your fault ok?

[@gabyespinoza5578]

If anything happens like this to any of my kids. Their abuser would never be seen again or heard from again

[@dianeatanacio7096]

That’s the kind of justice I love if my man decided to raise his hand to me.👏🏼

[@aliezahjuarez1212]

My first boyfriend was like this when i was a teenager. I thought he was a man to keep his words and do what's best, but sometimes he would yell at me for having fun and make me feel stupid over little words that i can bring up to sound interesting. I cam still hear him say "you don't stop telling your friends our business i will leave you". Here i am now at 23 working hard and made new friends. But emotional abuse is hard to come by.

[@foodieyumiko5593]

...I'm so scared of dating. Seems like everyone has stories of terrible people they got stuck with😭

[@aliezahjuarez1212]

@@foodieyumiko5593 ik it's hard that's what humans must face if we're down to face the most difficult challenges in life. And our expectations are never meant to be fruitful nor wise. Frankly, loving yourself and being single is the best to come by and having great people around you. The point I'm trying to make is; do not give up on love. Some people want it, some people run from it, and some people want to feel bonded. Like a family relative or best friend who could be there by your side till old age. Be careful when love comes running after you instead of waiting for the main obstacle course. Some very ugly, rude, nasty and plain insensitive people who have to much uncorrupted sins about themselves when the word "love" is used in their presence. Some would abuse and take advantage of those who don't have enough backbone. Just be patient and don't try too hard when someone asks you out. That doesn't mean love is spread it's a start of a nice beautiful friendship.❤️🙏💪
