Abusers
Chances are that you are friends with someone who regularly abuses their partner, and you don't even know it. Anybody can choose to become abusive, and, sadly, anybody can become a victim. Here are a few things to look for in an abuser:
- is selfish and/or self-centered
- blames others for his actions and refuses to accept responsibility for his mistakes
- pushes for quick commitment (wants to be engaged after one date)
- is consistently jealous (but calls it "true love") and isolates the victim
- has sudden, frequent mood swings with extreme highs and lows
- acts cocky and "macho," brags about his strength, skill, or weapons
- always has to be right and never compromises
Advice for Abusers
- Recognize that YOU have a problem.
- Get help.
- Believe that you can change your bad behaviors.
- Pray for guidance.
- Accept the consequences of your bad behaviors.
- Don't lose hope-keep trying!
