HubMob Weekly Topic: Domestic Violence

1. 75

   Princessaposted 15 years ago

   
   
   Thank you HubMobsters for another great week.  Last week's hubmob is the second one with most answers: 80 after the Toys hubmob  and its awesome 117 Entries.  You absolutely rock HubMobsters!
   
   
   Last week after reading Laura du Toit's hub Celebrating Christmas with an abusive partner I realized that we completely missed the American National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so in response to Laura's plea to bring awareness to the subject, this week we are going to HubMob about relationship issues concentrating on domestic violence.  Let's try to make a difference by bringing awareness to a topic that too often is kept behind closed doors.  Domestic violence is one of the most under reported crimes despite one in every four woman estimated to experience some form of domestic violence during their lifetime, so let's try to make a difference HubMobsters. Information and awareness is the first step to stopping  domestic violence. 
          
   
   Some ideas for a HubMob hub on domestic violence are:
   What is domestic violence
   Laws to protect women and children from domestic violence
   What to do if you are a victim of domestic violence
   Effects of domestic violence on children
   Living with domestic violence
   Emotional blackmail
   Shelters for victims of domestic violence
   Anger Management
   Jealousy
   Breaking Up
   Conflict Management
   How to prevent domestic violence
   How to regain self respect after suffering from domestic violence
   Economic impact of domestic violence
   
   
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1. YOU MUST START YOUR HUB CLICKING THIS LINK.  Choose the Answer the Request green button.  Choose the MAKE A HUB ABOUT IT option. 
   
   2. Choose a relevant title for your Hub to get a good ranking in the search engines, AVOID starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
   
   3. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/question/25247/hubm … olence?rss .  To add the RSS feed, click on the RSS link here which takes you to the RSS feed page, copy the URL from the top and paste it in a link capsule in your hub.
   
   4. Add the HubMob graphic to your hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.   If you want you can also add the domestic violence poster from above. 
   
   5. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why.  Take advantage of the free publicity!
   
   
   If you are still not sure about what is a HubMob and the benefits of taking part in one I created this guide What is a hubmob and how to join one  please feel free to come up with any questions if you have any doubts left.

   Hi Princessa
   
   Firstly I am very pleased about the topic this week - the more awareness the better for those poor people living with abusive partners.
   
   I have just finished a hub on the damaging effects that domestic violence has on children. It has already been published. Is there a way that I can include it in the hubmob for this week?

      Hi Sue,
      For the RSS feed you need to use an RSS capsule.  You have to paste the RSS url which is http://hubpages.com/question/25247/hubm … w/&rss
      
      This is the hubmob forum.  To come back you go to: Forums: The hubber's hangout: hubmob weekly topic.  You need to come back here to post a link to your hub once it is ready and published. 
      
      Remember that for a hub to be part of the HubMob you MUST start your hub clicking on the ANSWER THE REQUEST link at the start of this thread.
      
      I hope this helps.

    For example, can I change my Toys HubMob hubs from the default:  Games, Toys, Hobbies--> Toys

    I just went through an experience of domestic violence tonight, my house got destroyed and I got beaten..but the assaulter was not arested by either town cop who showed up because its his word against mine??????
    
    I just dont get it, when I heard the 2 cops talking in private ( I wasnt supposed to hear this ) I know he did this to hr and her things, Is=ts just sad I cant actually prove it..
    the assaulter is a perfect lier when the cops are involved...
    
    so look forward, I may be starting a hub about this, the sad thing is Im disabled and what can I do..this was the first time I felt it coming, hid my keys and purse, and my cell phone..I have had to buy 12 cell phones this year because he knocks me down, ties my feet and breaks them so I cant get help..he is sadistic when he gets drunk and Im in a situation where Im just numb....he is actually back in the house, they made him leave for the night and I heard him sneak in an hour ago....
    to be continued...and I live where thee are no payphones within any distance but 7 miles away and my neighbors are too far off to hear me scream for help,,he always does this them stops , strokes my hair, says he loves me, and continues his sick ways..and my cars, I have 2, each time he steals the batteries out before he starts in on me..

       You need expert help immediately.  I would even say that law enforcement may be a little fuzzy on the law.  Heaven forbid it happens again, but if it does exaggerate your injuries if you have to and insist on being taken to the hospital and be checked out.  Tell police something they can’t verify, but sounds like a liability if they don’t act.  Say he hit your head or you think you hit your head and you have blurred vision, nausea and a headache.  Say you have numbness in your hands and arms.  Say you hit your back and have numbness in your legs.  Then ask for a social worker at the hospital. 
       
       The very next time you have as much as 2 hours with your computer, phone and car, and without him, contact a social worker, lawyer or shelter and make your escape plan.  Be prepared to leave on a moment’s notice with the clothes on your back.  I hope you can remain safe until then. 
       
       Post in the family and relationships forum.  I'm sure there are people there with more experience and better advice.

          My mind is screaming with advice and all the things you have probably heard too many times before. Get out get out get out before he kills you. It will not stop it will only get worse.
          
          Please take the good advice I am reading here.
          
          One of my sisters lives with a bipolar man who is extremely controlling (we rarely see her)and given to long rants. She is in a similar situation because of her extremely debilitating fibromyalgia, prevents her working. He hasn't beaten her yet, but I am very afraid for her.
          
          We have intervened in time of crisis twice and gotten her out but she was unable to make it on her own and went back (without telling anyone).
          
          Another sister has just left a marriage that was becoming increasingly violent. My heart goes out to you - please feel free to contact me.
          
          But if you have enough courage or desperation to hide your cell phone, then you can plan your escape!
          
          The cost of leaving might be high, but losing your life because you "can't leave" should not be an option.

       Do you not have to lay charges before they will actually arrest the assaulter. Where did he have to spend the night? How did they get him to leave for the night without arresting him? I'm just worried that this type of incident with the police will put people who are victims of domestic violence off calling the police for assistance. I'm so glad to see that you are handling the whole situation very well. - Saw you on the post" complete a poem a line at a time" just now.

          Most of the time the abuser has alienated them from relatives and friends.  Don't do what I did honey, get the F**K OUT.  You say that you are disabled, so do you stay with him, because you think that there is no one else out there for you?  If that is the only reason why as a matter fact there should be no reason why.  You need to get out of there with your life. You say you have a daughter, if you live for no one else, live for her if not for your self.

             Listen to archdaw.  Get the heck out of there, find someone somehow to take you in...there's got to be a domestic abuse hotline number in the front of your phone book, call that number.  If for some reason there isn't, there might be a suicide hotline number who can refer you to some agency that will help.  This is just in case there are no family or friends willing or able to help RIGHT NOW, TO-DAY!!  THIS IS ONE SICK, SICK MAN!!!
             
             Police may be ineffective in domestic abuse situations sometimes because possibly in rural areas they aren't properly trained to handle it.

                In most states, the law gives the police no choice for the first night.  IF there is any visible sign of one person hurting another, the one who inflicted the blow spends 24 hours in jail.  This is to give the victim a chance to get away.
                
                You have to get away, and you have to press charges.  All the above advice is right.  The violence will only escalate, you will suffer for a long time, and eventually he will kill you.  Pain is not love.  You say it is the first time, but that he ties you up and hurts you in other ways.  You need to get away.  You need to file charges.  You need to fight for yourself.

    TO ALL WOMEN WHO EXPERIENCE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
    
    RUN!!! RIGHT NOW. AND DON'T LOOK BACK. Leave everything, and run for your life.
    
    It will only get WORSE. Never gets better, especially if the assaulter is a drug addict or alcoholic. If it gets better, that's only temporary.
    Do NOT have illusions that police or someone else will help you - your help is your friends and family, NOONE else. All that info in leaflets they give you is nothing, unless they really get you a 24-hour bodyguard (and they won't). I told the police some time ago - you don't do anything until you have the corpse, right? Officer, who I think had some sympathy to the situation I was in, corrected me - a corpse is not necessary, but hospitalisation might help...
    So it's either YOU, or noone else. This is also the reason why you should do it. Requires courage, and the situation might seem to get worse after you do it, but it's the only way out. After you've gone through those first weeks, you'll look back and wonder why on earth you waited for so long...
    
    Don't stop at anything, until you break the net. If you need - get the media into it, call 5-6 newspapers, TV channels - they tend to pick up on those stories. ANYTHING is better than constant fear.
    
    And there is life out there, a different you.

    I did a hub about this subject yesterday night (http://hubpages.com/hub/Domestic-violen … usal-abuse), and have been reading the other hubs on domestic violence as they've come out.  The first-hand accounts are really harrowing.
    
    The question "Why on earth do people stay in such relationships?" does crop up a lot when the subject of domestic violence is discussed.  I've got an idea as to why; it's a bit controversial, but please bear with me! My theory is that at a deep, unconscious level, people who stay in violent relationships feel that however bad the treatment they experience gets, it's at least one step up from total indifference on the part of their spouse... it's a case of "the fact that he treats me this way shows that he cares about me, albeit in a warped way - it's better than him ignoring me."  If this is true, then perhaps the reason for it stems back to lack of the right kind of attention during childhood. 
    
    Add to that the cunning techniques used by abusers to cut their partners off from friends and family (as described so vividly in some of the other hubs), plus the financial control as well, and perhaps it's not so hard to understand why domestic violence victims stay.

       I don't think there's always such a "deep seeded" thing behind women's staying.  Some would never guess they could lose custody of their children.  Some know better.  A social worker I know once said to me that this is one reason women stay.

    Here's the link for my contribution to this week's HubMob:
    
    http://hubpages.com/hub/Domestic-Violen … ristianity
    
    Domestic Violence and Fundamentalist Christianity
    
    which is about how a belief system can support domestic violence and make it harder for a woman who is subject to domestic violence to break away.

    BC Boutique:  I just got this info from Patty English's hubmob hub on where to get help for the victims of domestic violence:
    
    USA: National Domestic Violence Hotline http://www.ndvh.org/
    
    "Computer use can be monitored and is impossible to completely clear. If you are afraid your Internet and/or computer usage might be monitored, please use a safer computer, and/or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−SAFE(7233) or TTY 1−800−787−3224
    
    Please, please, USE THIS INFO!
    
    I know how hard it is to ask for help. 
    
    The first thing he does is charm you
    The second thing he does is isolate you
    The third thing he does is beat you, when it feels like it's too late for you to go back, to break away from him, and all your family and friends are gone.

    I thought that this twist might point out the disparity between male and female abuse. Abuse can go either way but that is not always looked at and is not always treated with equal concern.
