[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 725960, member: 1233"] I also don't understand preferring the abuser. I dated a guy who raised a hand to hit me once. I was frying meat for dinner. That meat hit the wall and I raised the frying pan to hit him back. He put his hand down. Fast. I then told him my momma's immortal words on this subject, "You gotta sleep sometime." We understood each other after that. And broke up not long after. I married a man I knew wouldn't ever hit me or my kids. He has a hard time getting the cat off of his lap if the cat doesn't want to get up. (It is funny to watch - hubby gets all flustered!) SWOT, Nichole certainly seems like a very strong, smart girl, all grown up. I have thought about making that into a blog. I may work on that with Jess. I think girls in this world need that. Annie, I am glad you were able to work with Bill and find ways to change your patterns to healthy ones. That is so important, especially with Rose in the house. I was really surprised some years back to learn that the DV centers offer classes to men to learn not to abuse. More men than you think are willing to at least try to learn. I think it takes a real man to admit he needs to change and then actually learn and make that change. And a strong, smart woman to motivate him and teach him how to make that change. [/QUOTE]
