Couple of things there. I, and not one Member of any of my Family, extended as much as you like ever, experienced domestic violence. Why did I miss out on this marvel. Was it sheer luck? I reckon not. I reckon it was all to do with having basic values and mixing with people who also had the same basic values.
"It did untold damage to the kids, and she still took him back
oh is this another aussie thread...

you do realise some women are driven into the ground and have no self esteem enough to get out....thats why we are talking about this topic[or trying too]... and not the life and times of aussie..
I agree it has SFA to do with me personally. I have never been touched by it. How about you consider ....... why? Where do people get their lack of self esteem from?
I am the result of FAMILY violence, and therefore I trump you all, and yet I see no virtue in demonising and criminalising ONE component of 'family' to attain some mythical savage 'empowerment' of the other.
My mother stabbed me once and abandoned us all..our father neglected us nigh unto death (I nearly died of double pneumonia at 14, and NONE of We Four had shoes for school, books and even warm blankets and clothes for winter - my sister after myself and I between us had THE two highest IQs in our school - yet have struggled for a basic existence), and intermittently beat my brother (who eventually died as a result of his schizophrenia and paranoia derived from his upbringing) and I, while neglecting our two sisters to the point that they have no self esteem and no moral and social compasses, and no idea of what a REAL MAN was.
None of you can tell me about Family Violence and neglect and abuse.... and yet - I will say again - my children NEVER were beaten, neglected, abused, or left in any way without anything, and both earned scholarships to a private secondary college.
No person, in any situation or from any background, can justify abuse and neglect or violence towards family and their very own ... family is all we have.. and the best thing I ever did was to divorce mine......
That's the ending of my book about my childhood and upbringing.... and there was never one reason on this Earth for any of it....
on ya grap for sharing that..
as you say SELF ESTEEM goes out the door....
and its no one persons fault..we have to stop the blame game and find the cure solve what is going on to think your childhood is still being repeated day after day is shocking..
I ask myself what is it we want today????.....what do these people who inflict pain want from life???
what are we not supplying to them that they feel so unfulfilled they have to abuse those closest to them???
what are we missing??????>...
your family must have been really poor...no excuse I know but its what so many think is the root cause....
yet even the poorest seem to be inflicted with materialism our world is more unhealthy today than its ever been at least thats the way I view it....
more and more young people in America are killing their friends at schools .. they have an horrendous record.. a 15 yr old has a shoot out in front of a Police Station...he by all accounts was filled with HATE....
I think we are seriously missing something...
self esteem / understanding/respect..
.as for love I dont think many really know what real love is....surely it has nothing to do with pain and abuse.
