Women Against Abuse

We already did. Jade' and Gravity

I did and it felt so good

let us pray for all those still trapped in a violent relationship(s)

shameless.

Who is writing that legislation?- A MAN of course. The biggest perpetrator of abuse both mentally and physically. I may live in Hawaii, but abuse is abuse no matter where in the world you live. If you don't want me then leave, don't be beating me up - it just perpetuates itself and the children caught up in this don't ever, ever, ever forget!! I know.

Often times, strangulation doesn't leave any sort of physical proof on the victim's body. One thing that can happen, though, is the appearance of tiny red spots (ruptured capillaries) in the eyes.

In reference to a paramedic not seeing any signs... does not mean that abuse did not occur. I can attest to the fact that a person can be hit, strangled, punched and or as you say knocked down and not be left with any markings that a paramedic or an officer of the law can see. Abusers know not to leave a trail and often times they know this while... Read More they are hurting their spouse or loved one. They also know that if no one see this happening, it is their word against yours. So, this is a gross injustice for the victim. Not all abusers are not thinking, most of them do and that is how they continue their abuse onto their loved one for many years with the victim's plight going unnoticed. Unless you know the victim, you really should not be making this kind of speculation of her mental capacity and her being confused. It is this kind of assumption and thought pattern that keeps abusers among the masses.
