Author	Thread: Why Abuse Occurs
Admin	Why Abuse Occurs Posted : 2 Nov, 2020 10:25 AM When is society going to figure out that abuse happens when one person overpowers another?! Awareness does not protect us from being overpowered. Being assertive does not stop a person from overpowering us. Saying 'no' does not make us safe. Strong boundaries are not a guarantee against being overpowered. Society expects us to use the rules of human decency to keep ourselves safe. Then society punishes us when human decency does not work. Newsflash: Indecent people don't care about the rules. Of course we resist abuse. But abusers have no respect for our resistance. Abusers overcome our genuine efforts to resist them and they violate us, against our will. They abuse us when they are able to thwart our self-protection and or defenses. We resisted. We resisted with all our might. But the abusers overpowered us. One of the things that hurts so much is the sense of violation. Having been overpowered. Seeing the abusers violate our children Being powerless to prevent, minimize or stop it. Being rendered powerless during violation That is the essence of the trauma of abuse. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2713856865531261&id=100007209225848 Post Reply
