Do they not let you sleep much at night?
Start fights? Keep you awake?
It's another form of power and control.

A lot of abuse victims put on a happy face in an effort to hid what really happens behind closed doors. Mary is no different. She was able to hide the abuse from those closest to her for 15 years. Although she knew it was wrong, and that she did not deserve it, Mary was made to believe that the abuse was somehow her fault.
I continued in a marriage that looked good on the outside world, but inside I was destroyed and damaged. I hid it from family, friends, co-workers, and even my doctors.
It started in the first year of the marriage, before kids, and never stopped. When my husband was not hurting me, he was hurting our son. The worst part was I knew something was wrong with my ex, but I never knew there was a name for it.
My ex-husband acted like a best friend to everyone, but the second they could not hear him, he talked terribly about them. He spoke about how he hated his parents in front of our kids. He used people for money and thought he was above the law. My ex believed he could do no wrong, and any wrong that ever happened was always someone else’s fault.
He never provided help with either child or acted in a fatherly manner. I have pictures of him holding the kids, but solely as an object and never with love. The newborn photos I have are the same way. He held them like an award. He never once took the kids anywhere, and the kids did not want anything to do with him. If I ran to the store quickly, I would ask him to watch our oldest child, but every time I came back, they were gone. He said his great-grandma called want to spend time with our son, but when I picked him up, they would tell me my ex called and said our son wanted to spend time with them.
I never had a husband; I had a paying roommate. He lied so much about everything. When he had a two year affair, he tried to make it my fault, but I never got affection from him.
I was verbally, mentally, and physically abused. It was horrible. I got punched in the face first year of marriage because he wanted a puppy. This kind of treatment continued for 15 years.
I had swollen nodes in my neck from being choked so hard. There was a time I could not eat for days because my gums were bruised, and my lips were cut up from when he shoved a phone into my mouth for trying to call 911. But did I run? Nope.
A month or two later, he beat me as I drove the car, and he grabbed the wheel to make me wreck. That is the day my 11-year-old daughter and I finally ran to a neighbor for help with him chasing us. With the exception of divorce court, I have not seen him since.
I tried so hard to give him a family to love since he hated him so much. It turned out he is incapable of loving others, just himself.

For survivors of domestic violence, hearing the words "I believe you" or "I stand with you" is like being thrown a lifeline.
To our BTSADV community - let's speak up in support of victims and survivors, whether we know them personally or not, because the first step to ending abuse around the globe is calling it out of the secret, shadowy corners of society and bringing it into the light.
And to all current victims and survivors: We believe you. We see you. We stand with you. We are here with you.
Australia is sending a strong message to domestic abusers worldwide: You’re not welcome here. Australia has recently broadened a migration law to bar any person who has been convicted of domestic violence anywhere in the world from getting a visa to enter the country. American R&B singer Chris...

There’s an elephant in the room that few are addressing.
Women are being murdered significantly more than men.
But, that’s not the elephant we’re talking about. The elephant is that women are being murdered by MEN- Men that they knew. Men that they trusted. Men that they have children with. Men that they tried to leave. Men that they loved or didn’t love anymore.
The U.S. Department of Justice has found that women are far more likely to be the victims of violent crimes committed by intimate partners than men and that women are much more likely to be victimized at home than in any other place- where they should be safe.
For homicides in which the victim to offender relationship could be identified, 93 percent of female victims in 2015 were murdered by a male they knew.
64 percent of female homicide victims were wives or intimate acquaintances of their killers.
The overwhelming majority of homicides of females by male offenders in single victim/single offender incidents in 2015 were not related to any other felony crime. Most often, females were killed by males in the course of an argument.
In 2015, black females were murdered by males at a rate more than twice as high as white females.
