You cannot love them out of being an abuser. You cannot tiptoe enough around them to stop them from being an abuser. You cannot change your language, your demeanor, the fact that you are isolated from all your family and all your friends to stop him from being an abuser because by nature that is who he is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, clinical psychologist, Dr. Triphi Margaret Wallace, speaking on the same radio station, said that many people who suffer from or experience abuse have a preexisting history of anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, that&#8217;s something to look out for,&#8221; she stated. &#8220;Because if I am a person who is already struggling from anxiety, the first time somebody calls me out of my name, I might be less quick say, hey, I don&#8217;t know if you mean to hurt me with this word or these words but they make me feel uncomfortable, I do not want you to talk me like that anymore and if your persist, I am going to terminate this relationship we are having.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She explained that if a person has preexisting anxiety, the example given above is not going to be the first move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead you might keep quiet about it and naturally hope it goes away without addressing it,\u201d Dr Wallace said. \u201cBut this is a pattern. So these things start with little seeds before they mushroom into murder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The matter of domestic violence and abuse has been a topic of great discussion in Dominica after the brutal slaying of two women late last year, allegedly by their partners.<\/p>\n<p>At a press conference on Monday, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said legislation and enforcement are critical to addressing the issue but ultimately it is in the community and the family that the solution lies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will seek to engage a number of stakeholders across the communities before unveiling additional avenues and safety measures for those who are most vulnerable,\u201d he said. \u201cWe all have to condemn all acts of violence, especially domestic violence and we, as a society, this is going to have to be a societal response. We cannot only look to the police and the government to solve this; all of us must play our part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister urged all victims of domestic violence to reach out for help before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese things of you cannot leave the house because of what society will say, we have to move away from this cultural issue,\u201d he said. \u201cSeek help because we understand sometimes, it takes a level of courage to do so. But this caring society of ours must be able to act on the behalf of every victim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that a variety of state agencies exist to assist victims through intervention, action and protection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the coming period, we will mandate those agencies in developing greater awareness about the facilities and their services,\u201d Skerrit said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Associate Professor of Psychology, Dr. Simone Mathieu, is calling out to women that they should not blame themselves when they are subjected to domestic violence or abuse.
