CC #3; Battered Wife Syndrome

                In Ann Veilleux artilce titled Why Women Stay: Understanding The Battered Wife I truly understood why these woman do not leave their abusive husbands. Sometimes in a relationship it is not easy to walk away and leave your partner. In some cases abuse is a way to receive affection and love, when realty is no one should put their hands on any one.
               In Ann Veilleux article she states, "A major reason we all pick the partners we do is in hopes of getting the love we longed for (and didn't fully get) from our parents". Ann has a point, because most woman are attracted to what they were around during their childhood. In the meantime they should look for better and not for someone who will treat them as if they were any less. This happens everyday in a women's life ending up with the wrong person, and not being able to escape the abuse. Because in these women's mind they think they deserve what they get.
               In the sixth paragraph at the end Ann says, "Since we still need love and approval, we still continue to try, fruitlessly, to get their love and approval just as we tried with our parents". For respect it is right to have a partners approval, but not if he mistreats you. As of parents who abuse their children is very wrong too, what fault that a pure child have to be brought into a world with out any sense. Parents should want better for their children, specially the ones who had a hard life.
             At the end of the paragraph Ann describes, "People who have been  wronged to the point of taking out their rage on others can be treated and helped to have useful lives". Abusers can redirect their lives even after causing harm to love ones.This will help change the world in bits and pieces if abusers out their would come out and admit they have been abuse and that is why they hurt others as well. Community today helps women who are abused and that is great, but their should be a program for the abuser causing this pain to better these women's life and their self esteem rise.
            This article really touched me deep I can understan why some women stand by thier husbands or boyfriends. Sometimes I don't think it was because of their childhood, but maybe for other reasons.
