[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 167303, member: 1498"] Yep. When my son was violent, he'd punch me when I was sitting down. It wasn't about me, it was about his malfunctioning brain. If the potential victim being passive is suppose to make the violent person less aggressive, it would depend on whether or not the perceptions of the violent person about the potential victim are distorted or not. In my son's case, not only were his perceptions distorted -- he was psychotic on SSRIs -- his actions were often compulsive acts, not logical choices. I can see how becoming totally passive and submissive and thus non-threatening would work in some situations, but certainly not in all. [/QUOTE]
