Probably no one on the planet who has a computer or tv does not know that Chris Brown was arrested for assaulting Rihanna. For more of the sordid details about this debaucle visit TMZ. Since I don’t know either of these two celebrities I cannot comment on their personalities or character. I do know it is wrong to batter another human being.
Were you aware that domestic violence has a cyclic conponent to it and that the violence does escalate as time passes. The longer the individual stays in the violent relationship the greater the chance that they will be severely hurt or killed. If you need help here are the numbers of the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224. They answer their phones, 24/7 –365 days a year.
There are three basic phases, the first is the tension. During this phase the anger and tension are building the abuser may act short-tempered, complaining about everything, dissatisfied with their partner, etc. The second phase is when the battering takes place. This can include hitting, verbal, emotional, and/or sexual abuse. The abuser is verbally and physically out of control. The third phase is the honeymoon. During this phase the abuser acts contrite and often is loving and attentive. He promises never to be hurtful again.
Domestic violence always escalates and the incidents occur closer together as time passes. If you have been battered please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224. Help is available.
