Default Re: A bad situation

I think your friend should have shot the guy and made it look like self-defense. It would be very hard for the police to prove anything, especially with the girl testifying to the fact that the boyfriend was a nutcase.

He could have said that he confronted the boyfriend, and the boyfriend attacked him.

Hate to be insensitive, but women who stay with guys who hit them are just as screwed up as the guy.

That's very insensitive. Emotional abuse is as tough, if not tougher, to handle as physical abuse. The women are made to feel worthless by the abusive boyfriends and so it is not fair for you to call them screwed up.

You know why they call it SELF-esteem? Because it's about how YOU feel about YOURSELF. Nobody can make you feel worthless unless you let them, thus I stand by my position: you're screwed up.

someone responded how someone who stays in this situation after the first time is mentally sick.

[/ QUOTE ]

While some would use different terminology than "mentally sick" in this situation, that is often essentially true. Many women who find themself in this situation grew up in some sort of abusive situation and they have some screwed up ideas about love/abuse/self-worth/etc. That is where great lines like "he only hits me because he loves me" come in.

That doesn't mean they don't deserve help.

i only have two or so really close friends who are also chicks. However, if they got beat up by their boyfriend, that dude would be dead. Or really damn close. He would definitly never, ever want to be around them again.

peace

that's true. I'm not saying they don't, but it's not like this is a random attack, she should be helping herself to some extent.
