Husband abuse: Can a wife abuse her husband?
http://www.newsday.co.zw/article/2012-03-23-husband-abuse-can-a-wife-her/
When we think of abuse or domestic violence, we don’t often hear or think about the husband being the victim. It’s usually the wife who is the reported sufferer.
Yet more and more it’s coming out into the light many husbands are victims of spousal abuse as well. Not as many as women, true, but it still happens.
So why don’t we hear about husbands being abused by their wives? David L Fontes, Psy D, in the article titled, Men Don’t Tell gives insight into several reasons.
He writes: “When a man is a victim of his wife’s physical abuse he is both shamed by the assaults of his wife and shamed by society for not ‘controlling’ her better. Today, men are not made to ride backward on donkeys, but they are still considered ‘wimps’ for letting their wives beat them or for complaining about their wives’ attacks. For many men ‘Taking it like a man’ means don’t complain and don’t show you are vulnerable or in pain!
“With the prospect of being viewed as ‘wimps’ and/or having the assaults by their wives not believed or minimised by the general public and law enforcement, it’s no wonder few men report their abuse or discuss it openly.”
It’s difficult for men to report their abuse and find help — especially in the Christian community. Marriage Missions claims to have received a number of letters from husbands dealing with their wives abusive and sometimes very violent behaviour.
They write that they wanted to be honourable men and would not hit or abuse back, but they did not know what to do to stop their wives from hurting them in these ways.
Does that mean that it’s less important to minister to the hurting husband as it is to the hurting wife, even though the numbers are less?
Should a husband just accept and silently suffer from abusive behaviour, if it is directed at him from his wife? No. Abuse is still wrong no matter who is the one who is victimising the other.
Maxine Marz wrote an article titled, Husband Abuse Erodes Dignity (Metronews.ca, August 31 2004), and she had the following to say on this subject:
“While it is true that most physical assaults caused by women tend to be less severe when compared to a man’s physical assault on a woman with his fist or a weapon, the abusive woman’s slaps, bites, kicks and/or pulling of her partner’s hair are nevertheless still very hurtful because, in addition to subjecting physical pain, they attack the man’s dignity and erode his sense of self-worth. Many men also encounter emotional abuse when their abusive spouse turns to using their children to assert her control over them and their relationship.
“To add insult to injury, some abusive women not only victimise their spouses by abusing them verbally, emotionally, financially and/or physically, but they also attempt to manipulate the criminal justice system in their favour and against their partner. This unconscionable attempt of some abusive women not only revictimises their already abused husbands by denying them equal rights and fair protection under the law, but it simultaneously devalues and undermines the admirable progress women’s groups have achieved over the years in trying to protect the rights of legitimately abused wives and their children in the criminal courts.
“It is evident our society has made positive strides over the years to bring needed attention to domestic abuse and to better protect women from their abusive husbands or partners.
Unfortunately, based on what many abused husbands currently experience, we still have a long way to go to afford them with similar protection of their safety and security and to eliminate the current gender bias in our system that revictimises them all over again when they step into the legal arena.”

I read this disturbing story on yahoo and immediately thought how lucky kiwi women are.Then smack bang, in comes a thought about our appalling child abuse / domestic violence record. But dumbo kiwi enjoy sick films like, Once were the warriors ( Jake the Muss tough bro) yeah right !! Make no sense to me? And the silly fools have the cheek to saturate us with a white ribbon campaign, which is, just another politically correct liberal feminist wankfest. Western women have never had it so good, they only have to ring the feminist ideological keystone cops and a man is a labelled for life a kid fucker,deadbeat dad and violent head case after just one phone call. Then when the blown away dad rots in a padded cell the bitch invites the new boyfriend into his once prized home. He does not see his confused children for years and his mother dies after being hounded to death by a corrupt gravy train Kangaroo Court. Thank you Christchurch femily court.Revenge is mine say the LORD.
I just wish man and woMEN could stop the bullshit and get along for the SAKE OF THE CHILDREN.
Just imagine a earth that didn't have gender hangups? Could we call that a balanced earth? The blood money the Western World spends on family court lawyers and wacko psychologists in a year could solve the global crisis and make the world a child friendly environment. Dreams are free. No doubt the new world order has worked out a way how to tax them.
Bring back Jesus.

Its Legalised Child Abuse
Unfortunately I have dealt with many cases where decent parents have been shafted by CYF. In most cases the lack of compassion from CYF has been heart wrenching to say the least. With a qualified opinion I can state that CYF are that dysfunctional they are a danger to all New Zealand children. Twisted and bent psychologists like Dr John Watson created a monster that is well equipped to destroy decent parents and vulnerable children. How long will this sick system keep in the fractured family industry? Poor kids, I have many,many,many, sad cases far worse than reported by the Southland Times below.
God please help our children.
Southland Times 24 March 2012
OPINION: Shirley and Ron Birt have fostered children in Southland since the 1960s. These are their concerns about children in CYF care. We are very long-term foster parents and are concerned for children in CYF care. It seems CYF often leaves children in dangerous circumstances and equally as often removes children who should never be removed from their natural families. They seem to have lost the ability to reach a sensible middle-of-the-road approach and the training to assess correctly the needs of these children. We have seen over many years the suffering of young people in care, the feelings of rejection and self-blame. Not all of them can be returned to family but the new Home for Life care policy that was implemented about two years ago is causing grief for children, their families and eventually the Home for Life carers, because of the inability of ever returning any of the children home.
