[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 640011, member: 18366"] From your posts, if I am understanding them correctly, what you are describing are the domestic violence cycle - it is just not with a man. [B]Domestic Violence Cycle Incident[/B] Any type of abuse occurs (physical/sexual/emotional) [B]Tension Building[/B] Abuser starts to get angry [LIST] [*]Abuse may begin [*]There is a breakdown of communication [*]Victim feels the need to keep the abuser calm [*]Tension becomes too much [*]Victim feels like they are 'walking on egg shells' [/LIST] [B]Making-Up[/B] [INDENT][LIST] [*]Abuser may apologize for abuse [*]Abuser may promise it will never happen again [*]Abuser may blame the victim for causing the abuse [*]Abuser may deny abuse took place or say it was not as bad as the victim claims [/LIST] [B]Calm[/B] [INDENT][LIST] [*]Abuser acts like the abuse never happened [*]Physical abuse may not be taking place [*]Promises made during 'making-up' may be met [*]Victim may hope that the abuse is over [*]Abuser may give gifts to victim [/LIST] The cycle can happen hundreds of times in an abusive relationship. Each stage lasts a different amount of time in a relationship. The total cycle can take anywhere from a few hours to a year or more to complete. It is important to remember that not all domestic violence relationships fit the cycle. Often, as time goes on, the 'making-up' and 'calm' stages disappear.
