Domestic Violence

“I promise I won’t do it again.” While these words sound sweet for you, you can also be careful in listening to it…. before you even get overwhelmed by it…. because that might be a sign – a sign that may devastate you in the process.

It’s domestic violence that I’m talking about. And those “sweet” words mentioned above can be a manifestation of abuse, where the abuser “promises” not to do it again, but more likely, it is just another way of making himself excused for his foul action.

Domestic violence doesn’t mean the act is just about physical abuse. It also includes verbal and emotional abuse that happen when a one is using derogatory terms and telling painful things to you. And the person most likely to do that is a spouse, the person you love the most who thinks has the right to do everything to you – even if it means hurting you and abusing you.

Lack of self-esteem can be a reason for their doings. It is their defense mechanism to hide it and controls and manipulates their loved ones to at least feel power and superiority.
