Help a Friend or Family Member. (n.d.) Why Do Abusers Stay? Retrieved from: Retrieved from: ĭomestic Violence Roundtable. All you can do is love them and be there for them when they need it.Ĭenter for Disease Control. I provide this knowledge, because domestic violence isn’t easy to see or experience and I understand how it’s easy to become judgmental towards someone, especially if it is someone you love, because you can’t understand why they would continue to put themselves in an abusive relationship. Remember that you cannot “rescue” them.Encourage them to talk to people who can provide help and guidance.Encourage them to participate in activities in activities outside of the relationship with friends and family.If they end the relationship, continue to be supportive of them.Acknowledge that they are in a very difficult and scary situation, be supportive and listen.So how can you help a loved one who is undergoing domestic abuse? According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, loved ones should: It hurt me to see my mom not just hurt physically, but emotionally as well. He never stopped making excuses and blaming, he never took responsibility of his behavior, he never showed respectful, kind, and supportive behavior….nothing. I felt like mom deserved a better life than to return with my dad. I remember feeling disappointed when my mom returned to my dad once a long time ago…like Dawn, it was hard to see my mom go back with my dad. To be honest, I was hoping she wouldn’t return to him, but unfortunately, it seemed like she already made up her mind to return. From what I remember, she never mentioned, for example, admitting how he has hurt her or stopped making excuses and blaming…nothing. Marina Sirtis as Dawn’s mother, Marie Grangerįrom what it sounds like to me, Dawn’s mom believes that her husband will “change” and will stop abusing her. belief that law enforcement will not take her seriously.Lack of information regarding domestic violence resources.Social isolation and lack of support because abuser is often the victim’s only support system.Fear of losing custody of the children because the abuser threatens to take the children if victim tries to leave.Fear of emotional damage to the children over the loss of a parent, even if that parent is abusive.Fear of physical harm to self or children.Belief that she is the only one who can help the abuser with his problems.Guilt over the failure of the relationship.Fear of the abuser who threatens to kill the victim if abuse is reported to anyone.Belief that the abusive partner will change because of his remorse and promises to stop battering.There are emotional and situational reason why victims like Dawn’s mom would stay with their abuser. So, if Dawn’s mom knows he’s abusive why did she make an excuse for him? It’s easy to say, how you would have done better, but it’s not that simple. According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC) about 1 in 4 women and about 1 in 7 adult men revealing having had experience some form of physical violence from their intimate partner in their lifetime. IPV doesn’t just affect women, it also affects men too. Intimate Partner Violence or IPV describes physical sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse. What Dawn’s mother is experiencing is called “Intimate Partner Violence”. Each time Dawn tried to talk about her getting away from him, her mom made an excuse like how he wasn’t as bad as he was in the past and that he is “trying to change”. Minka Kelly as Dawn GrangerĪs she catching up with her mom, Marie Granger, she found out her dad was still being abusive to her. In fact, she was able to perform a dance, when mother came over to visit her from England. Before Dawn sported the hero apparel, she was an accomplished Ballerina.
