We're back with our FustanyTalks series, this time sharing our thoughts about the sensitive and important topic of abuse. Why do we accept abuse?
’? This is our latest series of articles where we have real conversations about topics that people are yet to open up about and discuss freely. Each of the Fustany Team members discusses it from their own personal experiences. Follow our I had to take some time to think this article through. Abuse is not a subject to be taken lightly after all, and if you’ve been abused before then you already know,That’s what the abused always say.
I’ve been abused before. I’m being abused now. I was just abused yesterday and if I’m lucky, today is going to be abuse-free. And the thing is, I know a handful of people who are going through the same thing. You see, abuse is common and comes in many forms. Violence is not just by our fists. It’s by our words, our demeanor, and our actions. But I’m not going to discuss the endless ways someone can be subject to abuse.
. It could be fear of ending up alone or losing love, being left stranded without family, friends, or a partner. It could even be fear of heightened abuse, because what if you stand up to yourself and fail? It is the true mark of an abuser to make you believe that you deserve it. You know that line, “you made me do it.” You are blamed for seemingly inflicting this violence, verbal or physical, on yourself.
There are so many types of abuse, and so many reasons why victims don’t speak out. You could also have nowhere else to live if the abuser provides you with shelter. It could be finances or childcare concerns. There could be so many reasons why you don’t stand up for yourself, and while all of the above might be enough to make you stand still and accept abuse as reality, I have one reason that is strong enough to knock them all down.
