No segment of society is exempt from spousal abuse Questions and Answers
Anyone who secretly enjoys the administration of corporal punishment should not be the one to implement it.
“I’ll never hit you again.” (Even if we say this a leopard cannot change its spots) “If you’d just do what I ask, I wouldn’t have to do this.” Maybe you’ve heard these words; maybe you’ve said them. Whichever side you’re on, physical and verbal abuse cause inexpressible damage. The bruises may fade, but the invisible scars last a lifetime. An abuser attacks your emotions, your sense of worth and often, your body. Long after physical scars heal and the argument ends, emotional wounds erode your self-worth. Abusers typically act out of an unchecked need for control, and the people they abuse become imprisoned by manipulation and domination — sometimes even believing they deserve this cruel behaviour. Fortunately, there is a way out of abusive patterns both for those addicted to control and those victimized by abuse. If you an abuser and need help, please go to your nearest prison, tell them of your issue and we are sure they will gladly assist you. Otherwise, just continue abusing those you "love" and care for.
