    The guy’s mother was just as bad as him. She knows that she was getting abused and didn’t even help her. Maybe she got abused herself and saw herself in her. But she could have easily helped her instead of trying to gaslight her into staying with him. That absolutely sickens me.

    I can never understand why people who know they are being abused won’t help them. The mother I am sure was abused herself so the cycle remains. Narcissistic people will isolate the ones they say they love, its the first signs and the I’m sorry never heals the wounds.

    The single sentence "Your mother can't see you like this" is powerful enough to shake the soul of the witness to it all. I wonder how he could even say that for it must have echoed out loud how he was so undeniably at fault.

    Shame on anyone who knows and does nothing.
    Leave at the very FIRST RED FLAG! Because if you don't, your life is now altered, and you may never escape it. Imagine living if you are not murdered, for your entire life in an abusive relationship. NO ONE, not your boyfriend, girlfriend, parents, ... love you if they do this to you. The cycle of violence exists. LEAVE!

      @@stevesibaja3123 You still don't get it. Trying to fight back is a suicide mission, and then they will claim that you attacked them. They will try to claim that anyway. Mine did, and stole my home, children, and all property, cars etc. He outweighs me by 100 pounds, so GTFO with your akido BS. They are narcissists and sometimes psychopaths. There is NO CURE, they cannot be fixed, there is no treatment. They don't learn, they don't WANT to get better, they literally can't.

    He deserves the police to be called on him. What he’s doing and you’re turning a blind eye telling them to sleep it off maybe it’s just because they have something to too much to drink. No, you need to get her to the train station. You need to get her out of there. Let her go home with her mother.

    The other woman in this scene was absolutely sickening, and wicked she nothing to help the woman who was being attacked and beaten by her boyfriend.
    She was actually helping the man to prevent her from escaping from being choked and physically assaulted.
    She was supposed to help this woman, she observed her being attacked.
    Very disturbing and difficult to see what happened to this Woman.
    I am so glad that she Escaped the attack.
    Any man who doesn’t want a woman to visit her mother or father, and family during the Holidays has a Controlling characteristic.
    She should be able to see her mother on Mother’s Day, if she wants to.
    They could have went together as a couple or she could have just went alone if she wanted to, whatever was best.

    This is so effed up and disturbing to watch how domestic violence is a serious thing. Plus, the son and his mother should have been arrested for abusing her and even giving her burn marks on her wrist, which is even more effed up.

    These stories very disturbing,
    This was absolutely terrible and Very difficult to watch, and I didn’t watch all of this story and disturbing to hearing this terrible story.
    Men DONT hurt any Woman,
    Never beat up your Woman,
    Never beat up your wife, girlfriend, or any woman, that’s NOT is what being a man is.
    Beating up a Woman doesn't make a man tough...
    Beating up a Woman doesn't make a man strong...
    Beating up a Woman doesn't make a man cool...
    Beating up a Woman doesn't make a man a man....
    Beating a woman is Not masculine
    Beating Women is NOT sexy
    Beating Women is NOT manly
    Using abuse, and force for sexual gratification, intimidation, by harmful behavior for sexual intimacy with someone doesn’t make a man, strong, tough, cool, or, manly.
    I believe in the Safety and Well-being Women, Children, and Men
    WOMEN Have the RIGHT to FEEL SAFE and BE SAFE
    This is a reply post regarding a article on Assault Against Woman:
    For what is statistically true, or accurate, and even what is not included statistically, and all other crime such as this is what is ( violence against women) Always unacceptable...
    Women have the Right to Feel SAFE and be Safe...
    No woman..., or person....child...should ever have to experience this kind heinous personal intrusion in their lifetime, this seems to be occurring at least according to news reports more, and all to often.
    Actually this activity should be in a stage, or state of Reversal, and NOT Increasing, I am continually upset as well as greatly disturbed in hearing such stories, as I have always have been...
    My Heart Always... goes out to any person which have experienced any such similar experience of intrusion, attacks, and, or invasion of their personal well-being... due violence, and or violent behavior,
    I will continue Praying for the Safety and Well-Being of Others...
    Keep everyone SAFE
    PLEASE BE SAFE

      Jason Sandifer, AMEN 🙏. I've been married before, 2 sons, 2 grandsons. I was emotionally hurt for a while, then I ignored them and it scared them. I've been at peace for years. When I do meet a man, just for conversation, it doesn't last long😂. There intimidated by me, but I was raised with a very strong father who loved my mom and us ( even though my mom was a bit of a narcissist, I knew how to handle her by being annoying 😂 ). Stay blessed and safe 💞.
