is there therapy for hitting wives? more importantly, what justifies the attitude? if it can be justified..?

Question

this is the closest thing to a cry for help.. not being judgemental would be really appreciated

Answer 1

Are you the abused or the abuser?
Unfortunately, domestic violence is increasing in our society.
To simply answer your question, yes there is help. It's called anger management. There are therapists who specialize in this field, & the sessions can be individual or in groups.
Many times it has been discovered that an abuser has been abused sometime in their life, & the cycle is repeated.
There is no justification for this type of behavior, but many times it involves issues of power & control.
Whichever part you play in this relationship, you should seek help. The violence will only escalate until someone is badly hurt or worse. If this is truly a cry for help, then you need to do something now to protect yourself & your partner. This type of situation can continue on for many years, & the longer it exists, the harder it is to remove yourself from it. This is called co-dependency.
If there are children in the home, what example are you setting for them? After a time, the abnormal becomes normal, & they will grow up thinking this type of behavior is accepted by society & repeat the cycle.
Please get help for yourself NOW.
Good Luck.

Answer 2

This attitude CANNOT be justified in any way, shape, or form. Hitting wives is WRONG. Period. End of story. There are many other ways to "cry for help" without being a cowardly abuser.

That said, there IS therapy available. I highly recommend attending a "Batterers Intervention" program. They are the BEST thing if you (or someone else) is serious about changing your life around. Anger management does not fix the problem, because most abusers don't really have anger issues. If they did, they would abuse everyone, and not have the power to just direct it at their wives or children. "Batterers Intervention" deals specifically with power and control issues, the real key to abusive relationships. If nothing else, though, seeing a regular therapist is a start. Problem is this: odds are the abuser will merely be diagnosed as depressed, which does not resolve the real problem. As one abused wife put it, her husband was diagnosed with depression, given some drugs, and then became a "happy" guy who beat his wife instead. So if you or someone you know hits their wife, I suggest getting into a "Batterers Intervention" program immediately. Abuse is against the law. They WILL get caught, and these days law enforcement takes this seriously. You get caught and you WILL go to jail, and could potentially lose everything that is important in life. It is not worth it.

Answer 3

there is not a therapy for not hitting wives but there are anger management sessions. Maybe you could try that. No matter your wife does there is NO JUSTIFICATION for hitting her or any other woman. The next time you are event hinking about hitting your wife ask yourself how would you feel if someone, anyone hit your MOM?

Answer 4

There's nothing that would justify someone hitting their wife.. Unless she was about to kill you or something. Lol.
