ABUSE

Abuse...is never okay. It is wrong. NO ONE deserves to be beaten. There is no "sorry" after hurting someone. There SHOULD be no reason what so ever as to why a person abuses their loved one. Physical, Mental, Sexual, Emotional...All are wrong! Does beating the person you love so dearly express your "appreciation"?! Does swearing and insulting someone you care about express your "gratitude"? Does making your loved one cry because of the abuse you're putting on them express your "affection"?! Is that love?! No, it is not! Do not EVER mistake abuse for love! Abuse is a person's excuse for their insecurity. Abuse is what cowards use against the ones they love to either keep them there or to hide jealousy.

 

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. It won't happen again. Please forgive me." Lies! All lies! The abuser always knows what he or she is doing and he or she has no remorse; no regret. He or She will do it again. Notice how I said "HE" and "SHE". It's not always men that abuse. Women can be just as abusive. To BE in an abusive relationship is worse than death. The reason? Because death happens only once. Abuse can happen again, and again, and again, and again. If you are IN an abusive relationship, get out! Do not let the so called "Love" keep you there. The abused do not make the abuser "explode" or hurt them. The abuser does it on their own. When the abuser says that they love the one they are abusing, they are wrong. Love does not hurt! Love does not cause pain.

This is my view on abuse...

Abuse is used as AN intimidating tactic. To scare "love" or "obedience" into that person, the abuser will use abuse. When the abuser feels, or "fears" that their loved one is going to speak up about the abuse or even leave...they will crank the abuse up a notch. Women, Men, Children, and even Animals are abused everyday in the world. There is absolutely no excuse for abuse! None! Abuse is an abuser's way of saying that they care for no one else but themselves. They may shed tears and cry out "sorry" later...but where were the tears when the abusers were hurting their loved ones over, and over, and over, and over again? ABUSIVE relationships are not okay. They are good for no one.

What is love? I'm going to tell you what it is not. Love is not beating somebody. Love is over as soon as abuse comes into the equation. There are all types of abusive relationships. And not one of them is acceptable. Get out! Leave! Run! This abusive RELATIONSHIP is not worth another day! And for those who notice that something is wrong or that abuse could be there...Please help. Take a stand against abuse.

Abuse does not equal Love...
