Domestic Violence: The Abuser's Story...

​"Abuse in many instances does not start out with huge violations of trust and conduct. It is conveyed through a systematic increase in the abuser's actions over time as they gain more power and control over the victim."
Facts you should know:
A Batterer isn't a batterer because:
  • They had a hard day
  • ​Have a mental illness like depression
  • Financially compromised
  • ​Have disagreements with friends or family
  • Use Drugs
  • Physically ill
  • ​Stressful life events
​Being a batterer is a learned behavior and cannot be attributed to any one thing. Trying to make sense of the reason's why an abuser abuses does not excuse the abuser's actions towards another human being.
