    its not as rampant as u think - the news has to perpetuate violence sex and the weather - its their only appeal it does happen alot tho - I am in law enforcement and we go to domestics alot - and they are pretty much the same ppl - but domestics arent jus men jumping on women - I have a lot of em where women are violent towards their hubbies and it used to b a time that men never told that their wives were abusive but now the shame is lifting - ppl have all kinds of hang ups and insecurities that make them stay in situations they should walk away from

    There are families where domestic violence has gone on for generations. Someone who grew up with it has a hard time getting away from it - it is how they learned to deal with things, how they learned parenting. It is often associated with low self-esteem, which is the reason people aren't strong enough to walk away. If you are told you can't make it on your own, you will likely believe it over time. I wish everyone could be strong and know that they will be okay if they leave and get help.
