2. Batterers do genuinely love the women they beat up.
In fact, they are often obsessively in love with their girlfriends or wives, which makes them even more jealous and controlling — they just don’t know the proper way to express it. They most likely grew up in a home where there was violence.
3. Batterers actually blame their girlfriends for forcing them to be violent.
A batterer will tell himself and his girlfriend that SHE provoked the violence by looking at another guy, wearing a skirt that’s too short, or not cleaning up the kitchen fast enough.
4. Women blame themselves for provoking their boyfriends.
They get brainwashed into believing that they’ve done something wrong. “It was my fault for leading him to think I was cheating.”
