Hi,

Many battered women's groups in America have become more concerned about funding than justice for the battered women. They do great works also, don't get me wrong, but we as a society should not rely on them solely for change. They are now bought and paid for since much of their funding and their visibility comes from government.

I am working on change in my own case because I became involved with what is a rarity in this country, a serial abuser and psychopath/sociopath. I need help because the prosecutor closed the cases but the statutes of limitations hasn't run out and there is now more support and evidence against him.

See my videos at www.youtube.com/abittadissa... and pass them on if you would. I have more information, though not complete, at http://photobucket.com/info... with the guest password: information1

A very personal point of view. I was luckier in having 2 very loving parents and find it horrific that so many women are put in this position. What I find horrific is learning how many women stay in this position. Is it because they know no better or are they so lacking in confidence ? So many women are frightened to be on their own. Why? I have heard some women say they would rather be in a violent relationship than no relationship at all! Why? What makes some children grow up in such a relationship repeat the violence (because they know no better?) whilst others want to make sure they never repeat it? I am sure some psychologists think they have the answers but why is nothing ever done about it?

As someone who has lived through violence as well I can completely relate to his words.
I think it was a very well put together speach. I wish Violence was tackled int he same way as the smoking campaign. Just imagine the difference that could be made!!
