Victims aren't innocent - they like the drama!
2008-12-02 20:40:00 I have been reading a thread on bibleforums.com about an author that had written a book about domestic violence. Her writing touched me very much, and I guess I should have realized that in time - someone would mock what was happening in people's lives. I will be honest I doubt the poster meant to mock, but to me that is how it was received. I guess this subject makes me sensitive, and it is heart breaking to me over the years. It wears me out at times, and I wonder at times if it would be better just to walk away.There was a time in which I was so enraged over how abusers tear victims and their families life's apart. I will admit there was almost hate there. As the years went on God showed me that I must learn to pity them as well due to their broken nature. My heart slowing started to change, and I realized if we didn't address them the cycle of violence would continue on. We have to address both portions, and I personally should give rat's butt what the stats are about gender... More About: Drama , Innocent , Victims
Disabled Neglected Victims of Domestic Violence
2008-12-01 19:57:00 Women's Enews I thought had a good article about disabled parties, and the limited resources they have to reach out for help.Feds Focus on Disabled as Hidden Victims of Abuse Run Date: 11/28/08 By Annemarie TaddeucciWeNews correspondent Women with disabilities often feel left out of domestic-violence shelters and unable to communicate with hotline operators. A national meeting in December may help spotlight a hidden population of abuse victims and survivors. (WOMENSENEWS)--Domestic violence among women with disabilities rarely if ever gets this kind of national attention.But next month, representatives from 150 programs that receive funding from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women will meet in Nashville, Tenn., to discuss this particular safety problem.Cindy Dyer, executive director of the Office on Violence Against Women--which provides $10 million in yearly funds to state and community organizations--said the focus of the Dec. 16-17 meeting will be on im...

Domestic Violence? Church Leadership show perfect example of how they don'
2008-11-27 01:04:00 The Church Leader Gazette wrote an article about domestic violence, and some of it maybe comment sense, but the rest of it is nonsense!Men are definitely at fault in most cases of domestic violence. As welearned in elementary school, boys should not hit girls?a man should never hit a woman under any circumstances. But contrary to popular belief, women are oftentimes at fault by provoking the man. Some women provoke a negative response from their husbands inadvertently, because they do not know how to deal with a man probably because they never had a father in the home to teach them or they never had a mother, older sister or older woman to teach them how to handle a man. However, some women intentionally provoke their husbands by pushing buttons that they know will cause a negative reaction. First off, I know I have taught my son never to HIT anyone...except in self defense. There is no need for hitting, and to say that people PUSHED your buttons to do that? For goodness sakes! How ...

The scourge of domestic violence
2008-11-26 02:14:00 Gloucester Daily Times has a midweek musing about The scourge of domestic violence.Rev. Richard J. Simeone spoke of how for a number of years they have a brief ceremony proclaiming Gloucester a domestic violence free zone. They had the fanfare that most of these ceremonies have as well! As much as we would like to believe that these events lesson or stop domestic abuse we also know that they don't.Rev. Simeone got a first hand experience it seems from a mocking of this sentiment that all to often happens:At this year's proclamation ceremony, due note was given to the strides made over time in public awareness of the problem as well as concrete steps toward dealing with this public health disease.¬ Yet, it was also noted that we still have much work to do.¬ It made me think about a conversation I had earlier the day of the ceremony with an acquaintance of mine, to whom I mentioned that I was heading to the ceremony.¬ The other person made a scoffing noise, and I asked what it was a...

Working to break the domestic violence cycle
2008-11-21 04:13:00 Statesville.com had a good story on domestic violence recently. I wanted to point out a partial note about what a pastor mentioned. It will be highlighted below! Thank you Statesville.com!By Donna Swicegood Published: November 16, 2008The idea that men who batter their partners need anger management is a ridiculous notion to A Call to Men co-founder Tony Porter."They have excellent anger management skills," Porter said at a workshop last week that brought several domestic violence service providers together. "They know who to hit and who not to hit."Porter told the group at the Not Tonight Domestic Violence Peace Initiative Workshop that men are the key to addressing the growing domestic violence problem."Not enough men are standing up and taking responsibility for ending violence against women," he said. "Violence is rooted in sexism, that she belongs to him and he can do whatever he wants with his property."Classifying batterers as "sick" helps men who don't batter justify the...

Domestic Violence - Is the church Neutral?
2008-11-20 03:35:00 When Loving Him Hurts had a very spot on article about the neutral position churches seem to take when it comes to the very HAIRY position of meddling in domestic violence! lol yes I had to throw in some sarcasm there!How many people have heard comments similiar to this?We won?t sides: Even though he has been threatening, we won?t take sides as there is always two sides to every story. He must be in pain over the split and that is why he is mistreating you He needs as much protection from you as you do from him We won?t get involved because we want to maintain relationships with him We won?t confess he has mistreated you, we will just keep emphasising that he is hurting You must have done something to trigger his anger We won?t hold him accountable as we don?t want him to feel worse or upset him even further The part that floored me is he wasn't even her husband either!

Though the topic is gaining some momentum these days, it is still quite clear that the church has struggled to contend with issues of abuse. Isn't that the truth! I think they truly don't know what the answers are so they choose NOT to deal with them at all. Domestic violence doesn't have easy answers, and at times there are no good choices.

Pastor Crusades Against Domestic Violence
2008-10-26 14:24:00 The Chicago Defender wrote a story about a pastor that is taking up the cause of domestic violence within the church...and in LIFE! I applaud him for this stand, but I wish it didn't take the tragic events that he had to deal with in his neighborhood.Richardson had never considered volunteering his service as an advocate against domestic violence. That is, until his neighbor, Patricia Marble, was murdered on July 11 and her boyfriend, Sampson Ashby, was arrested by police as the prime suspect. Greatly disturbed by the incident, Richardson was determined to see what he could do to prevent such a tragedy from ever happening to anyone else in his community. I hope other pastor's follow his lead, and don't wait until something awful has to happen! I know at times it does take this type of happening to open some eyes to the issue. I will admit that part! I hope Pastor Richardson has great success in his crusade against Domestic Violence ! More About: Crusades , Domestic Violence
