The Domestic Violence Controversy, Part 2

Amanda Kidd
Women and men should never feel that domestic violence is an antidote for healthy relationships. This curse is worldwide, from generation to generation, because sons have witnessed their fathers or live in boyfriend's abusing their moms, and sometimes daughters accept an unhealthy relationship because they've witnessed their moms accepting this detrimental relationship. Domestic violence causes long term emotional distress and can destroy new relationships. This causes fear or aggressiveness in women because they've experienced this unfortunate relationship or environment. They may overreact and strike their new partners prematurely because they are always on the defensive side; therefore, it is never acceptable to assault women/men. Statistics prove that men have been acquitted, arrested, and prosecuted by the judicial system more than women probably because these particular men assault both men and women. They have a violent criminal history other than domestic violence towards women. These men have witnessed family or comrades escaping harm or prosecution due to the woman reneging on pressing charges after she's calmed down and salvaged the broken relationship. Maybe men are stressed due to poverty, unemployment, drug and alcohol addiction, child abandonment/abuse, hatred of women (particularly their mothers), and other predicaments or incidents that have caused great suffering or depression that sparks domestic violence which is a frustrating releasing coping mechanism.

These men have refused professional therapy such as psycho counseling and anger management which could diminish an innumerable amount of cases. Some men can have mental disorders such as bipolar and schizophrenic which causes detrimental hyper activity such as domestic violence toward their spouses. Lastly, the most controllable reasons men catch more cases is because men abuse their physical attributes and power of authority in the relationship. Men are quick tempered and women may provoke men to strike them because women's weapons are their tongues. Men cannot tame our tongues. Our words are sharper than a double edged sword and although this isn't acceptable, men are quick to snap because they can't control their emotions either. This induces domestic violence which is a deadly reverberation that I pray this belligerent curse will be healed among the nations. Simply stated both men and women lack self control, mental strength, morals, self esteem, and love for themselves and each other. So remember, God hates a violent man or wo-man!!
