Abuse from a partner is not fixed through DR

[Cadet]

PWAS=potential walk away spouse

POW= potential OW

Thanks - I added these to the abbreviation list at the top of the forum.

but to actually post links, I'm not sure we will be allowed to do this.

I stick with the current rules. You only post links to the relevant thread here on this forum.

It was suggested to this poster that they look up domestic violence - cycle of abuse.

Exactly. Suggest they google/search certain terms.

But have the basic information that points them in the right direction here on this forum. There are other places to find a lot more information.

Doing it this way stays within the current guidelines and the spirit of this board (as I see it).

Yes the above is fine.


I have been in contact with the forum admin and we have determined that the DB Forum is not the place to discuss all of the abuse topics that Job selected in her posting.

Michelle has helped people in these situations save their marriages, however, it is not within the scope or purpose of the forum to be the place to do this.
Coaching is available if you wish to discuss topics such as abuse going on in your marriage.

So we will not be creating a new forum specifically for Abuse.
You are more than free to create a topic on this subject.
As long as we stay within the frame work of the board rules I do not have a problem with it.

I do still think that many posters here or on the MLC forum experience abuse, and that DB'ing in no way contradicts the basics of what you should DO.
My focus is still to continue for people to work on themselves and in doing that I do believe that you can not lose!

Thanks to Job for her efforts here, she is an invaluable resource IMHO.
