The Cycle of Abuse

7/8/2014

Studies have found that most domestic violence relationships have what is called "The Cycle of Abuse." As we look at step 1, tensions start to build. This would be the ideal time to get out of the relationship but it is never that easy to just "walk away." This is usually the first time the victim becomes potentially aware they are in an abusive relationship.  Step 2, is unfortunately the most heart-breaking part of the cycle for me. An incident is not just always physical but it is very emotionally damaging.  The examples listed above "Anger, blaming, arguing, and threats" can be life-changing and traumatic especially if they are from someone that you thought you loved. Step 3, is very common after an incident. Apologizing for an incident doesn't make the abuse right and typically the abuser never really means "sorry." For step 4, do not mistake that as "he will never do it again." While the incident is forgotten about for a period of time, it doesn't mean it won't happen again.
