Dont you think people who call people dysfunctional are just as?
Dysfunctional themselves. I am a really happy person, with a very nice life. I never wanted my children to experience any of the things they did. Just because a man starts something does not mean they have a right to finish it. I just think to many get away with two many things and if the police and the courts do not deal with it. There are ways within the law that women can and should deal with these things. I would certainly not do anything different than I have in my life. But I would not tell other people what is best for them. Everyone has different ways of handling a situation. I handled mine. What do you think about this?
Answers:
If you look at the true definition of dysfunctional then you will find out that most people are dysfunctional. We all have our quirks that hold us back in life. I don't think I know anyone that I would call a fully functional person.1
when we watch the simpsons, dysfunctional is the latest fad, why is homer the male icon ?
I think you are right, there is more than one way to skin a cat. But the laws that govern civilized people see things in a more black and white way. But your the one who has to convince yourself in the mirror every day so I say do what you think needs to be done if it is the right thing to do.
I think this babel has no place being posted under "Law & Ethics"
Based on an individual's beliefs one might feel morally obligated to share their experiences to help others.
Personally, I try not to regret anything from my past and prefer to look at bad experiences as something I learned from but I do try to give advice to those who may be in similar situations that may need some advice.
OK. Keep handling it. Preferably with a therapist and a larger dose/
I think you should take your meds and lie down untl you feel better.
I think if you told the whole story, instead of this cleansed version, everyone would see why your kids were taken away.
Being an ex police officer I can tell you that a domestic call is one thing a police officer dreads.In a lot of cases when you respond to a domestic call you are walking on egg shells because you will never know if one or both parties will turn on you or not.If you do not see evidence of injury you never really know what transpired.If you make an arrest,chances are the person will be set free when they go before the judge because the complainant will not show up to testify.Yes,I agree that there are ways that a woman (or a man) can handle the problem without involving the police.The police are not dysfunctional,but their hands are tied by the law in a lot of cases.I have had to go to the same address two or three times a week on domestic calls,made an arrest,and ended up having to arrest both parties.Having said this,I must also state that if you are being physically abused,you should call the police.You never know when the situation will get worse,and it usually does.
I also suffered domestic violence but my children came with me. I spent 4years in a refuge and as a family unit I have three sons that I am very proud of. It is not a case of a man starting and finishing it, it is up to the woman to get the help and be strong enough to see it through. I then went on to manage the hostel and obtained funding to bring in the support the women needed...As to the police they have a duty of care to each individual and can take the responsibility for the prosecution. This then takes the pressure away from prosecuting the man directly...However the abuser is usually set free ready to return threatening the partner so with little support it is without doubt easier to take this person back than hope the police turn up before the assault takes place again. As to my comment, as I assume that is the reason for this next question read my original reply and maybe you MAY comprehend the reason for that response.but i doubt it..
I can't really see what your question has to do with the statements that follow. All I would say is that as you say you would not do anything different than you have in your life, that is one of the most stupid things I have ever heard. As human beings we are not infallible: we all make mistakes and should learn from those. I am sure that most of us when asked if we had our lives over again would we do it all the same we would answer NO, No, NO. You are either a very perfect person, or deluded in thinking that you are and have done no wrong.
I've heard that 97% of the population are dysfunctional. Not only do I not know any of the remaining 3% but I don't know anybody else who knows any of the remaining 3%.
However, having said that, I guess it's possible that you could be in the 3% and everyone who labels you as dysfunctional are in the 97%.
I raised my 5 children alone after their dad left. A school teacher once said that I would have trouble with my children as I was a single parent. How wrong she was!! All 5 are now grown up and have good careers and lives. They are well-mannered and courteous. Why? Because I refused to allow them to become dysfunctional. I taught them well and told them they could be anything they wanted to be. We may have been dirt poor but we weren't poor dirt!
