The Disease of Domestic Violence By Abbiegayle Shafer Domestic Violence is a very serious disease that most people do not yet understand. It is something that is brush under the rug as if it doesn’t happen, until it has hit close to home. Then and only then does it become apparent that Domestic Violence is REAL. The psychological damage that occurs when a Victim is told everyday that they are used or damaged goods, how unworthy, unattractive they are. Being abused in this manner causes a person’s self-esteem to fall so low that they begin to believe what their abuser says. By this time the victim’s self-esteem and self worth lay completely shattered on the ground. Then what is left of the person is a traumatized shell of a person. Most Domestic Violence victims are so traumatized from being abused psychologically, emotionally, and physically, that if they do make it out alive they end up having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) or Battered spouse syndrome. Most of them don’t know they have it until it is too late and everything they had is gone. The only way to help is to talk about and take action against the disease we all know as DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. I made it out alive, so can you.
