| GO - Filing for DV TRO Against Abusive Spouse
Posted: 21 Apr 2009 12:25 AM PDT People who are real victims of domestic violence often won’t file for Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Orders to protect themselves and their children. The reasons they often give are that they want to keep the family intact or that they are men and don’t believe the courts will believe a wife can be abusive. Abused males are often so used to being emotionally beaten up and threatened that they just learn to live with it, hoping it won’t get any worse. Men often fear being falsely blamed for abuse and being separated from their children if they call the police, so they tolerate the abuse instead. They allow themselves (and perhaps their children) to be terrorized and controlled by an abusive spouse because they fear the alternatives are worse. The children in the household see the abuses happening and are harmed by growing up in a household in which they observe that the way a relationship works is to terrorize and dominate using threats and violence. Exposing children to this kind of situation in and of itself is regarded as emotional child abuse. Such children are likely to learn to become domestic violence abusers themselves in their own future relationships.
