Dear Agony Aunt
My partner abuses me mentally and physically - what should I do?
Agony Aunt Says:
Askdozen people and each one of them will give you as many opinions. Remember, they are opinions. Ultimately, you have to makechoice - it's your life.
Even full time professionals get it wrong from time to time because they often focus on what they are taught. They go through"processes" and on occasions they forget that each case is unique; they forget they are dealing with real people. Fortunately, such mistakes are rare.
What would I do if I were placed insituation that you describe?
***
I would immediately ensure my personal safety.
If I face any immediate danger, I would callauthorities. Otherwise, I would move away fromthreat and seek help fromlawyer. If necessary,lawyer would take appropriate steps to stopthreats andviolence.
Of course, by consultinglawyer, I know that I may be putting my relationship online as my partner may react adversely to this. But thenchoice is between puttingrelationship at risk or my personal and emotional well being.
Refuse to live in fear.
I takeview that mental and or physical violence is not acceptable - I havezero tolerance for it.
A relationship only works properly whenparties respect human dignity.
If my partner doesn't respect me and uses violence, I would put my foot down onvery first occasion and say that if it happens once more, that will beend ofrelationship. If it happenssecond time, I would endrelationship.
Violence doesn't have any place intruly loving relationship.
Here's another important tip: most offenders carry on because victims keeps quiet.
Bringviolence out inopen - and your partner may change. If not, do not put up with it - you can do far better with your life; do not waste it behind violent creatures.
*** Important disclaimer: I simply offer my "opinion"
so you may compare it with help available via your local professionals. You should always seek local professional help and advice before taking any action.
