Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Hi, everyone. I guess I just need to vent about something that's been bothering me for decades.
Abusers get support in our society...perhaps much more than the abused...and this is not a figment of imagination or delusions of persecution.
Our legal system should not continue to allow abusers or any criminals to argue excuses for their criminal behavior. So what if the abuser is an alcoholic or addict or rage-a-holic...they should still face full-length incarceration and other punitive measures...no more reduced sentences or alternative sentencing in which offenders are sent to twelve step meetings or counseling in place of prison time! No more leniency! If you hurt someone, particularly a child or other vulnerable person, you should be put away.
Many people say our prisons are overcrowded and therefore we must have alternative sentencing and shortened sentences. I strongly believe that if offenders were forced to do the full amount of time as prescribed by law, prison populations would gradually lesson as the word gets out among criminals and would-be criminals.
In many legal proceedings, offenders seem to have more "rights" than victims. How can we push for a massive civil rights movement for victims? Can we ever march in the streets and protest for the rights of victims and against the offenders?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
Ultimately, I don't think we view abuse as seriously as we should in this country. If I would have viewed my behavior differently, perhaps I wouldn't have continued.
