This site is so thought provoking! This situation is very disturbing to me. We talk about how do we end/prevent the cycle of abuse, yet here we have a young woman 18-20 that has been victimized and is dating someone that has abused a 3 y.o!!!??? Of all the young men in this age range available to date, how could this be?
Simple actually. It's called making choices. You wouldn't go shopping at the dollar store if you knew you had a million dollars in your wallet unless for some reason you felt you weren't worthy enough to own anything valued more than a dollar.
I understand there are many effective victim's programs available to young women that help with self esteem, decision making and the most important of all in my opinion in helping with how to select the right type of man. There's someone perfect for everyone. Obviously, it's extremely risky business mixing offenders and victims in an intimate relationship. Some people thrive on the risk; oh, the drama of it all.....Let's face it PVulcan, we're dinosaurs - no murders, rapes, molestations, drug addictions or recent trips to jail for us - we lead boring lives....been married to the same man since before Jen was born and he's never hit or raped me once, imagine that! There's no big secret here - all you have to do is wake up one day and decide that you are worthy and make better choices even if you have to get a coach or a therapist to help you. If you've been abused more than once, it's time to look at what responsibility you have to help prevent future abuse. It's like listening to people in Florida whine about hurricanes - that's like what you get when you live here and if you don't like it then move. People are like the weather; you can't fix either of them nor do you have control over the situation. People sure think they do though, look at how many folks died in hurricanes lately. How many child victims grow up to be magnets for abusive men? Now why is that?
