And one of the goals of the pimp is to get the young girl to feel like she loves him so much that she doesn't care about money or other levels of control.

Girls Circle Have any of you had a chance to talk within the Girls Circle groups about Rihanna and her decision to not return to Chris? Are the girls in your groups discussing partner abuse? In conversation with Diane Sawyer, Rihanna said, "Don't react off of love. -- love....Come out of the situation and look at it third-person . . . Love is so blind."

It came up in my girls groups right after it happened and I was frankly alarmed at the number of girls that tried to put some of the blame on Rhianna - using the excuse that she said something that made him really angry so she should have watched what she said. It goes without saying that we spent A LOT of time trying to deconstruct that belief.

Yep, it seems like blaming the victim is still a widespread knee jerk reaction. SO awesome that you could explore and help the girls think it through much further and deconstruct. Thanks Cath!
