SIGNS OF ABUSE. VERY DETAILED & VALUABLE INFO. PLZ READ!
I was surfing the net and ran into this thread about Domestic Violence. While I was reading the stories and I ask the poster about the signs of abuse. And boy did she post a lot of them. I want to pass this along to my LHCF sisters because you all are like second family. We need to pass this along to our sisters, daughters, aunts, friends. This is pretty long but it's worth every second on reading.
P.S. May be some offensive language but I'm sure it will be blocked. But she's really putting it out there.
Here is the poster's version of her experience.
The Official Version (emphasis on ones I KNOW are true):
The following characteristics might help you identify a potential batterer. They are certainly not definitive signs that a man is a batterer, only that he has the potential to become one.
1) Does he report having been physically or psychologically abused as a child?
2) Was the man's mother battered by his father?
3) Does he play with guns and use them to protect himself against other people?Does he lose his temper frequently and more easily than seems necessary?
4) Does he commit acts of violence against objects and things rather than people?Does he drink alcohol excessively?
5) Does he display an unusual amount of jealousy when you are with him? Is he jealous of other significant people in your life?
6) Does he expect you to spend all of your free time with him or to keep him informed of your whereabouts?
7) Does he become enraged when you do not listen to his advice?
8) Does he appear to have a dual personality?
9) Is there a sense of overkill in his cruelty or in his kindness?
10) Do you get a sense of fear when he becomes angry with you? Does not making him angry become an important part of your behavior?
11) Does he have rigid ideas of what people should do that are determined by male or female sex-role stereotypes?
My Version:
1. Instinct: flight or fight...either way, I'm out. Do not **** him, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
2. Asking if you are romantically involved with any of your male friends...MAJOR RED FLAG especially if he's a jump-off. Side-lines get their asses whooped too...sometimes for FREE.
3. If you try to help him move something heavy or insists on doing things he knows you can do for yourself and he says "don't help me, sit down"...wtf?
4. Offering financial advice...wants to control how U spend your money. Married people should have a family account and separate personal accounts...women **** up on this one
5. Yelling in public...if he does that he will surely beat yo ass at home...see it every day.
6. Driving WAY too fast while u in the car...he don't care about killing his ass or yours in a wreck...get outta pocket and he will SURELY beat your ass. Sane nuggas don't do that crazy shyt...I don't give a **** if he in a Lamborghini or a Kia...
7. Keeping tabs: what time u go to sleep/wake up, when u go to class, are you going to your parents for the holidays, will you be living here in a year, why weren't you at such & such.
8.NEVER talks about his parents, especially the Dad. If he says he wasn't the favorite son or assumed to be illegitimate...deep seated anger issues...he WILL snap one day, prolly upside yo head
9. Always saying some woman was checking him out, could go both ways:
a: he is wants a reaction to see how mad you'll get, provoking a possible argument/fight...then he woops your ass
b: he could be gay and just trying to overcompensate
10. EXTREME cruelty...doing hurtful **** on purpose...do it to him and he wants to kick your ass.
11. Asking where you are going if you get up in the middle of the night.
12. Forced unwanted sex...if he crazy enough to take it, he damn sure as hell will break it. (Had this happen to me. I didn't want it, but he forced it, I just gave up. He tried to justify it by saying we hadn't ****ed in 11 months. Bullshyt. If I had fought him he woulda knocked my ass smoove out.)
13. Expects you to show him affection if he AIN't yo man...ex: you didn't hug me when I came to the door, give me a kiss. He WILL get angry and take it out on you later. Frustration. Is worse when he treats you badly.
14. Is obsessive compulsive about certain things (like putting groceries in a certain order at checkout. If you **** up and mix the **** up in the bags, your ass is toast.)
15. Always accusing you of cheating, especially if he actually is NOT cheating on you. Waiting on evidence to **** you up. If he plants 'evidence', its an excuse to whip your ass...LEAVE BYTCH!!!
16. Dropping lil hints...innuendo. If I dont have your number/cant reach you, I'll be "sick".' Sick of WHAT? He WILL find your ass...or stalk your ass. You wouldn't even know it...this is how a LOT of women get they asses killed...thinking the ***** done moved on...and he hasn't.
17. Bisexual tendencies...repressed feminity = hates feminine (women)...HE WILL SNAP ON YOUR ASS...especially if he knows/thinks "you know". Scare you into being quiet about it. (This actually happened to me, except he didn't hit me, I just felt it cominh and got the hell on!)
18. Verbal abuse in front of his boys...most will beat your ass in front of his boys. Young nuggas do this **** ALL the time.
Damn, thats most of them.
Here's a few more...
19. FROM MY MAMA: Run away from nuggas that wanna knock you up before marriage...he will trap you, you may eventually leave him or town with his kid, he may kill you or beat you. Happens every day.
20. Dropping hints about the possibility of y'all having kids or what living together would be like 0-90 days into "just dating". A year in? Yeah, maybe...with a ring.
21. Referring to your p***y as "his p***y" (some of these nuggas mean that shyt) and telling you that you better not take it away. He could be running game or he could be serious. Goes back to asking if u interested in your male friends, and keeping tabs. Also forced sex. Rough sex that you DON'T want is a form of abuse. LEAVE BYTCH!!!
22. Also, bipolar tendencies...acts sweet and shy during the day...agressive and mean at night. No signs of alcohol/drug abuse...THESE NUGGAS ARE UNSTABLE...AGAIN RUN BYTCH.
I realize that a LOT of my signs are for after a relationship has been established. But when most women see them, they think they are positives...when its just about intimidation and CONTROL.
