- 3 Devastating Effects Of Domestic Violence
By: D. A. Campbell | - It is almost hard to fully comprehend effects of domestic violence can have on anyone and anything that crosses its path. The destructive force as well as the corrosiveness can impact a family community or even entire counties.
That last one is not an exaggeration. Any country that turns a blind eye to it or in essence hands the abuser the right to abuse is a prime example of that corrosiveness.
Here in the US there have been quite a number of encouraging signs. For i ...

- Domestic Violence Roots-teen Dating Violence?
By: Jack Krohn | - Three years ago one of the first articles I wrote was about domestic violence and all the inequities associated with it. Two young women in my life were victims-one was my daughter whose husband broke her arm. Since then I have tried to keep up with the problem without much luck.
The issue doesn't get a lot of press or maybe enough press is a better way of saying it. It is as I called it back then "America's Dirty Little Secret." To me it is a national disgrace the way women are t ...

- Women, Power, Abusive Relationships, Manipulation And Control
By: Liza Cooper | - When you feel empowered, you are centered, think clearly and make wise decisions. You are connected to your core strength and face the world with confidence.
But some will try to knock you off-center, so that you are no longer able to tap into your core. If they are successful, you will feel panicked, unable to think clearly, or misplaced guilt. It will be difficult to assert yourself and you may find yourself engaging in unwarranted second-guessing or self-blame.

By: D. A. Campbell | - One of the effects of domestic violence is illustrated in studies done by organizations like the Coalition for Battered Women. It is believed that when a woman attempts to leave a violent relationship the risk to her increases by a startling seventy five percent.

- The Domestic Violence Cycle - 3 Ways The Abuser Manipulates
By: D. A. Campbell | - Early this year talk show host Oprah Winfrey featured an episode on the domestic violence cycle. She interviewed one gentleman who told her what it was like when he was physically assaulting his wife, "It made me feel invincible."
The first word that comes to mind is frightening. The fact that hurting the one he allegedly loves made him feel invincible is a mind-boggling concept. But so it goes with many abusive spouses. The whole relationship is about power and control. It not onl ...

By: Bill Valentine, Self Defense Coach | - Domestic violence is a situation that no one should ever have to experience.

- Why I Feel That Domestic Violence Is A Choice
By: Francis K Githinji | - We always find reasons and excuses to show that domestic violence is an unavoidable circumstance but i beg to differ. A person who abuses another person lacks respect and does it on will. No amount of provocation should give the right to go ahead and inflict fear and shame on your partner. Sometimes it gets even worse when the abuse involves physical violence. A man is the author of his own destiny and he should take responsibility of any of his actions. The myths or misconception that men are p ...

- The Nfl And Domestic Violence
By: Martin Chase | - Violence is a trait of many NFL players. Let's face it, football is a violent sport and it encourages violent behavior.

By: Donald P. Schweitzer | - The image of the housewife waving a rolling pin, or frying pan over her head while chasing her husband is one usually depicted in cartoons. An image we typically find funny. The reality is that domestic violence against men happens. It happens more than we think, and there is just nothing funny about it.

- Males Abused Also, Not Just Females
By: Dr. Heyward Ewart | - A man I once treated was neglected in foster homes from birth to age 2, when the real trouble began. His adoptive father hated him. He was yelled at, beaten, thrown out to agencies, brought back, cursed, ignored, insulted, and belittled until he was farmed out permanently to a boys' home in his early teens.
His adoptive mother, living in terror that her husband might kill both of them, kept her mouth shut and even remained living with the man long after the boy had grown up.

- The Violence Against Women Act - A Powerful Solution Or Vigilantism
By: Scarlette McCallum | - Senator Joseph Biden just announced his bid for the presidency; a candidacy that will no doubt be embraced by the powerful domestic violence lobby. As sponsor of the Violence against Women Act (VAWA), Senator Biden has championed the cause of eradicating domestic violence and aligned himself with a very powerful feminist special interest.
