In reply to the discussion: THESE ARE THE TOP 10 JOBS MOST LIKELY TO ATTRACT PSYCHOPATHS (SHOULD WE BE WORRIED?) [View all]socialindependocrat
(1,372 posts)I was in a group of seminar leaders for Rape Prevention
at work. We had a yearly conference and were shown a new module about battering. After the presentation I was asked what I thought and all I could say was that I was in a daze and memories kept popping up about my wife abusing me - a male. In the group of 100 people there were 5 other males who all spoke up about being battered or psychologically abused by their wives.
Wait for it...
One guy said that he enlisted in the army and got shipped to Viet Nam so he could get out of the situation.
It says a lot when someone will choose to face death
instead of continuing to exist in an abusive relationship.
I guess the same question can be asked here that is asked of women in abusive relationships - Why didn't you just leave?
Anyway - new info for future reference.
Thanks for the book references!
