The trigger and process of separation threatens to cause the abuse to escalate, especially when fueled by alcohol and or drugs. This was my experience. He blacked out one night and it didn't sink in to his memory, just how he had tried to suffocate me, for two weeks. That was it for me. I finally got the courage to have him locked out. He then began stalking, kept harassing and vandalizing, terrorizing, disrupting, stealing mail finding out where I was moving to, etc. for 8 of the longest months it took to sell that home. Messing with me on the way to work. It was a form of torture, being stalked and alone. I reported every incident and took photos. One morning I found two tires had been slashed on my car. The constant barrage of continued abuse resulted in his being one charge away from a stalking charge. It was never going to end. Because I cared about his kids who I did my best to help raise, and not wanting them to lose him, I opted to take the advice of my local cops and the court system, and leave the state entirely, to avoid his surely getting a stalking charge and ending up in prison. It was one thing for me to lose everything I'd worked for, career, friends, home, belongings, and to start over alone with shell shock issues in a new state. I was able bodied, albeit reeling and despite struggling with lifelong cognitive health issues, I got the hell out of there with my life, but still suffer from the nightmares and shame 15 years later. I can't imagine what it must be like for this poor woman you try to help, and with this type of health issue, or for those with shared biological children with abusive partners.Adaline - Free Leonard Peltierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878144941743894985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778400479144209105.post-5203180035552375002015-09-15T15:25:42.073-07:002015-09-15T15:25:42.073-07:00Maybe the woman next door is practicing even-minde...Maybe the woman next door is practicing even-minded indifference while her husband rages on for his own reasons (as he lowers his own self dignity). The best way to handle verbal, emotional, mental abuse is the realization that these things cannot really hurt anyone if the person is strong and grounded. A person simply does not believe the lies or take them personally. As far as destroying the earth, controlling others, and creating physical harm, that's way different and must be stopped; Yes, opt out!

Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.” <br />― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn<br /><br />2 Timothy 3<br /><br />1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.<br /><br /> “Do all the good you can,” the Methodist saying goes, “in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”<br /><br />Gandhi also explains that someone who cannot use violence to defend themselves or their family is a helpless coward and a "worm."<br />In his own words from the text Between Cowardice And Violence<br />"...He who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honor by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully ...[When violence] is offered in self-defense or for the defense of the defenseless, it is an act of bravery far better than cowardly submission."<br /><br />"We are irritated by rascals, intolerant of fools, and prepared to love the rest. But where are they?" ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960<br /><br />“What I cannot love, I overlook.” <br />― Anaïs NinPJ Londonnoreply@blogger.com
