Is he black or white tall or short strong or weak educated or illiterate poor or rich? Yes you’ve probacan be any one or bly figured it any combination of these things There are really no definitive characteristics of wife beaters The crime of spouse abuse knows no social economic age racial or other barriers Anyone can be a spouse abuser But wait that doesn't mean that women have to always take their chances and accept whatever may come along In considering a mate look at his background Approximately half of the men who batter their wives were abused themselves or saw their own mothers being beaten Often there was alcoholism neglect by one or both parents an mother or indulgent or a father who competed with the son for attention A violent man rarely comes from a happy family There are also some personality characteristics you can look for Insecurity: What ever their childhood experience batterers are usually insecure adults whose insecurity is reflected in extreme jealousy Frequently the husband suspects the wife of infidelity with nearly any male she encounters “Where were you and who were you with?" may be the first note of impending abuse 2 Domination: Along with the insecurity goes the male' need to control every aspect of his wife’s life She’s not allowed to spend money make her own decisions or even do things outside of the home The domination may sometimes be masked in an “I love you so much I want to have just you with me all the time" 3 Poor Verbal Communication: The inability to express emotion or to tell his partner about feelings and personal needs is another characteristic of batterers “You should know how I feel about you and what I want from you If you don't then you obviously don’t love me" A expects love and understanding but is rarely able to offer it himself 4 Dependence: Threatening suicide or insisting that he cannot live without her is a common result of a w ife’s threat to leave because of abuse The woman who does leave may be besieged by phone calls and unwanted visits Those who are truly dependent upon their wives however tend to avoid abuse since this may cause her to leave It is only the one who’ieeds to make the wife i feel insecure that batten 5 Lack of assertiveness: Many batterers who are “tyrants” in their own homes may be quite passive or gentle in other situations Rather than being effectively assertive where he stands up for his rights without destroying the rights of others the batterer may not speak up and instead holds anger and frustration within These emotions may explode when he gets home overreacting to the slightest threat to his status 6 Traditional beliefs: The man who beats his wife tends to believe in the stereotyped model of masculine behavior a role that requires him to a) never appear weak b) solve his problems without asking for help c) make all important family decisions d) receive deferential treatment from his wife and children and e) be in control of his emotions especially in public This man generally expects his wife to be the traditional wife and mother a role that requires her to a) be responsible for all household chores b) remain home rather than working outside the homec) be the main for the children and d) be submissive and subservient To the batterer the most simple of actions may be serving the children first at dinner 7 Dual personality: Although most violent men are not mentally ill they can sometimes appear to be schizophrenic-two different people in one body Some are fully capable of conning everyone outside— family friends police religious leaders— into believing they are nice gentle and easy going Meanwhile convincing them that their wives honestly describing their acts of violence are lying 8 Contradictory behavior: Some unusual combination of behaviors is also often the wife but never touching the children unable to express emotion verbally but eloquent in letters forgiving of everyone’ mistakes but those of hia wife One or even two of these characteristics doesn't make any particular man a wife beater But nearly every batterer will have several of these traits Another very serious problem is that therapy for abusive men is hard to find Few therapist have experience in dealing with the problem and state or federally funded program often exclude men But the final factor it that in most cases a man can get what he wants from beating on his mate— dominance a release of a feeling of ut fear of being punished for his actions New Horizons is part of the stale group developing a treatment protocol for batterers If you want information about this program call or |
