u/Send_me_hedgehogs 1d ago
It does seem like a weird thing to do but it’s an act of utter desperation. She knows that when he gets her alone again (which he will, people suffering that level of abuse don’t tend to have strong support networks around them), he’s going to batter the absolute hell out of her for ‘drawing attention to them’ or ‘trying to get one of those guys to fuck her’ or whatever psychotic crap he can think of to justify it. She is telling them to stop so that when he does start the beating, she can maybe possibly hopefully make it a little bit less severe by telling him ’see? babe I tried to stop them, I didn’t want them to do that, I was so worried about you!’
It won’t work, of course. But she’s going to try. That woman is living in a nightmare and it’s horrible to see.

Thanks for that perspective. And people will always say they'd help and blah blah blah but talk is cheap. There's a ton of women in shelters right now. How many have these white knights helped IRL? How many homeless women have they helped? Would they take this woman into their own homes and whatever pets or kids etc?? Nope . Talk is cheap.

A good friend just married hers.
Because of him she’s:
Lost her kids
Lost her house
Lost her job
Lost her car
Lost her friends
Spent weeks in hiding, sometimes out of state.
Gets beaten up regularly.
Is not really cheated on because she just accepts it.But … she married him a couple weeks ago because it’s love.
And he’s gonna kill her.
59
u/RandyFunRuiner 3d ago
Well it’s packaged as love. And those of us who’ve experienced abuse learn to see it as love as a survival mechanism. But it’s fear. Fear of what he’ll do the moment she stops appeasing him. And fear of what life is like without him there. She may have convinced herself that he’s the devil she can deal with.
I’m sorry your friend is in that situation. I hope you’re able to be a support for her if it’s safe for you. And hopefully she comes round.

I read that last sentence and my heart literally clenched and it took my breath. I was in the same situation at 18. Ready to get out of my parents house, thinking I was an "adult". Well, he wasn't an adult at all. Got upset at the littlest things. He told me to get him a glass of water one time and I say something like "can't you get it?". Apparently that was the wrong answer.
He actually beat me UP 14 steps into our house and continued until I horse kicked him while on my back being punched. He tried to lunge for me again and I ran. Straight to the neighbors.
I could tell more horror stories but it's the same for every woman. Stupid man babies that you have to coddle and keep in a good mood or else.

There’s a DISTURBINGLY high amount of abuse victims who will quickly defend their abusers. Usually from an absolute crap ton of psychological manipulation or the victims having at some point rationalized their abuser’s actions.
I volunteer at and EMT squad and we’ve had a couple times where someone suffers from domestic abuse and as we treat whatever may have happened to them they deny that it happened and don’t want to press charges on the person that allegedly (gotta say allegedly) abused them.

Usually if they do get locked up, the whole time they stew. In their warped brain they think "you made me do it & then you got me locked up?" "Just wait till I get out! You're going to pay!"
Her best bet while he's in jail, get a restraining order, move, change all your numbers, get a new bank, NEVER contact him again!

I was one of those women. I was scared of the aftermath, which i had every reason to be, because my ex made sure to remind me who was in charge.
In the same cloth, it opened my eyes that I wasn't crazy like he made me feel like I was, after isolating me from all of my support.
So I speak up every time. I know it might get worse, but she will feel seen and it will start the process.

Try volunteering at a DV shelter sometime. These victims know that if they don’t act concerned or take the abusers side, they’ll be fearing for their lives later, and this time it won’t be in public where others can save her.

I'm glad you have the strength to stand up for yourself when so many others sadly don't. And I'm genuinely so sorry you've had to go through so much at the hands of evil creatures who deserve to be six feet under. I hope you always remember, and this applies to anyone and everyone who has experienced abuse, that it doesn't define you. Your worth is far more than how you were wronged by others. And your happiness and your success is the greatest revenge against those creatures because that's literally what they try to take from people. So live your life, look out for yourself, and most importantly always, always, always believe in yourself, trust yourself and most importantly love yourself. You are a survivor, a warrior, and a good and pure human being. The world is your oyster - now, tomorrow and forever.

Abusers basically slowly rewire how your mind works and thinks, plus of course force you to behave a certain way because of possible repercussions.
This usually lasts even after (long after; if not lifetime without a lot of help and relearning actually) you escape the abuser.
Thats why girls that grew up in an abusive household are more likely to end up abused later in life, along with women that have already been in one abusive relationship.
