So, what is it with men that they are so angry/mad and abusive? I even hear my teenage daughters talk about their girlfriends who are in abusive relationships in high School!! They allow it to happen and put up with it.  Why?? Dont we realize relationships should lift us up, make us feel good about ourselves? Especially who we are dating.  What is wrong here? What is happening to so many boys/men in our society that are abusive? Do they not know what healthy love is, don't they know what respect is? Maybe our children should have classes in High School to teach them about dealing with anger, what is acceptable and what isn't.  I even babysit sometimes and even the young boy, who is only 7 years old, is rude and disrespectful to me at times.  My children may have given me attitude, but never did they give other adults attitude and disrespect them when they were young. I am trying to figure out what is happening to our society.
My children had another incident with their father the other night, he was in a state of rage and really was mean and nasty to them. So nasty, I do not even want to say.  I was outside waiting for them in the car, and they came out of the house hysterical!! I wanted to go in the house and ask him what is wrong with him?? Get yourself some help already, grow up, deal with it!! When will he get help and realize how unhappy he is with himself?? I left him 8 years ago because of his anger, and I told him so, and it is still there, now towards everyone else. Many of us have ghosts in our closet we need to deal with and let go of.  I guess many of us hide it and dont want to deal with it, even thought that is when healing happens.  Will he have to loose his childrens love for him to realize his anger/abuse? I dont think that will happen, my children seem so loyal to him, that unconditional love thing, which is crazy.  Not everyone deserves our love, especially if they are abusive constantly. Yes, maybe our prayers for them to heal, but not our unconditional love to put ourselves back in that environment only to be abused again and again. I pray for strength and courage to us all, especially everyone in an abusive relationship, to get the strength to get out, and not accept it, and realize love is kind words of encouragement always.
