I have this family member who hit heavily and repeatedly by her husband, a very phycho; nonemotional; violent man. He has been very abusive to her even before their wedding. I would have protested her marriage only I wasnt informed about their marriage and did not know the man at the time. My mother worked with psychopaths and noticed his phychopathy almost right away. This man has a criminal record. Our family is a very loving, caring, nonabusive, family. When abuse against a loved one is made something has to be done! Nothing like this has happend to my family before. Battered wives are useally very clingy and feel like they need someone.

You must be strong about the situation and do whatever you can to get away or it will just keep on getting worse. My advice to all battered wives, even battered children with abusive parents, there's always a way out. You can call a hotline and get advice, and remember there's always the classic 911. Well I hope this helps those who may be in this situation.
