The Quran mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. 

He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress. (Quran, 55:19-20)

The "Love" Cycle


Abusers! Previously Called Victims…as the cycle continues! (Matt. 6:14-15)



Abuse comes in many forms like: Physical, Sexual, Emotional, Neglect, Self Abuse.
Some people think as long as I'm not beating a man or woman it's not abuse.  Physical abuse leaves can emotional scars as well. Emotional abuse and emotional scars may evoke more lengthy damage on a person. With emotional damage the sore is not as easy to see because it's a wound to the heart, spirit and mind. 





WHAT ARE THE SIGNS?
  • Abusers can be passionately jealous yet are so narcissistic that they can also see no wrong in their philandering ways.
    • They will accuse the victim of betrayal even if they are actually betraying the abusee (victim).
  •  The abuser will set up scenarios to see how the victim will react to see how far the victim will allow the abuser to go with them. 
  • The abuser will fault the victim over things that didn't pan out to the abuser's liking. 
    • Since the victim is now so needing of the abuser's affection they will even take the blame for something they didn't do just to be affectionately  embraced by their abuser again. 
  • Abusers normally have displaced anger and it's revealed when they get easily upset with the person or people they abuse.
    •  So the same person the abuser confides in relays on and requests love and commitment from is normally the same person the abuser abuses. 

Hurt People Hurt People

How many of us have stopped to think that most abusers learned their behaviors from the way that they were treated. Most abusers have witnessed abuse at such a young age it become the norm for them even if they know it is wrong. In other words, the abusers were once the victims in many cases. Does that explain an abuser, possibly, does that excuse an abusive behavior,no.


The bait & switch

It is the pattern of being nice one moment, then explosive the next that seems to trap the victims into their situations. What would make a person stay in an abusive relationship, normally they endure to experience the honeymoon phase.  

  • Honeymoon period - includes apologies, promises to change, blaming why they behave how they do and gifts

A woman who saved prostitutes off the street told me she interview pimps and asked them what they did to brainwash these women into selling their bodies then giving all their money to them and even being abused by them. She said one pimp told her he used the bait and switch method. He'd do 5 nice things then one mean thing, 5 nice things then 2 mean things, 5 nice things than 3 mean things, 5 nice things than 4 mean things. Then once the victim assumes his next move he would switch! 5 mean things then 1 nice thing, 6 mean things then 1 nice thing, 7 mean things, then 1 nice thing, 8 mean things then 1 nice thing, 9 mean things then 1 nice thing. So now the victim is so desirable of 2 nice things she accepts 10 mean things, just to get those 2 nice things. 



Victimizer or Victim?

Unfortunately, many abusers do not even see that they are abusive. They relate more to being a victim, blaming the victim for their behavior.  An abuser might be mid abuse             (whether physical, verbal or emotional etc) and ask the abusee (victim) to Stop hurting, them. Sometimes, most times, the abuser will blame the victim and immediately turn themselves into the victim confusing the abusee (victim) and causing more hurt to them. An abuser can do many things to hurt a person they love but when that person does one thing the abuser fights "wrong" he/she will use that to fuel their abusive behavior again. An abuser is always looking for a reason to warrant their behavior. Whether they visualize themselves as the victim of their past or are in total denial to their real current behavior, they are sometimes unaware of how they are repeating abuse.



Does He/She love me even though He/She 

abuses me?

Yes, totally! It is more than possible the abuser actually really 

loves the victim. Is it the love one should pursue…… not if one 

wants to remain a form of sanity.

Characteristics of Abusers...Warning signs of potential violence:

Abusers frequently have the following characteristics: 

  • Often blow up in anger at small incidents. He or she is often easily insulted, claiming hurt feelings when he or she is really very angry. 
  • Are excessively jealous: At the beginning of a relationship, an abuser may claim that jealousy is a sign of his or her love. Jealousy has nothing to do with love. 
  • Like to isolate victim: He or she may try to cut you off from social supports, accusing the people who act as your support network of "causing trouble." 
  • Have a poor self-image; are insecure.
  • Blame others for their own problems. 
  • Blame others for their own feelings and are very manipulative. An abusive person will often say "you make me mad", "you’re hurting me by not doing what I ask", or "I can’t help being angry".

  • May hold rigid stereotypical views of the roles of men and women. The abuser may see women as inferior to men, stupid, and unable to be a whole person without a relationship.
  • Are very controlling of others.  Controlling behaviours often grow to the point where victims are not allowed to make personal decisions.
  • May act out instead of expressing themselves verbally.
  • May be quick to become involved in relationships. 
  • May use "playful" force during sex, and/or may want to act out sexual fantasies in which the victim is helpless.

Forgive & Forget?

One must not dwell on their past abuse but forgetting my 
lead that person in continuing that cycle. They abusers may
 not look the same but remembering their behavior might warn you when they are acting the same. Forgiving one must do to heal. One must forgive their abuser and if one allowed the abuse to occur one must forgive their self for being acceptable to the abuse.  Forgiving one for abuse does not mean one condones the behavior but forgiveness is a must if peace and happiness is sought. Since as I stated earlier, abusers can fell like the victim, victim to some might be subjective; so forgiveness is the first step to moving on and forward.    The most blessed experience is forgiveness – to forgive or to be forgiven.   Matthew 6:14-15

In a mother’s womb were two babies.




 One asked the other: " Do you believe inline after delivery?" The other replied,"Why, of course.There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”


The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”


The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”



The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”


The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”


“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”


The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”


The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”


Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”


To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.
