To divorce their husbands. This is not even a secret that abused wives are forced and/or coerced/extorted. For those that just deny it's happening, See: http://www.dvmen.org/dv-10.htm It's the norm in the USA at least. It's sure the norm in Plano, Texas, as well as everywhere else in the USA (but Idaho) I've seen. Notice, what can be legally called D/V is not what the poor women are told/taught it is, so they end up expecting law enforcement to side with them on everything Feminists teach them qualifies as abuse and then are left high and dry when the law doesn't actually see it that way AFTER tearing their marriages apart and put their kids at risk. Here's attornies telling how Advocates REALLY treat those who come to them for help. "Assisting in prosecution means the victim must testify against the defendant. It also often means the victim must pursue divorce proceedings against the defendant. If the victim does not want to divorce or testify, advocates will eventually threaten her with failing to protect her children. Then the protectors will threaten removal of the children unless the victim pledges allegiance to the team and assists in convicting the defendant." That's the way it really is, in EVERY one of 4 US States I've worked with D/V and S/A survivors. 'Women are coerced into accepting their cultish indoctrination via the use of threats, intimidation, and the fear of losing their children...Women are ordered to leave their husbands, even in the absence of real domestic violence or abuse. They are ordered to never let the fathers see their children, or DSS will charge the women with neglect." And they don't tell these women until after they've been talked into petitioning for orders for Protection (which is fine if that's what they want to do). So, by the time they find our the rules, all hope of reconciliation for stuff that doesn't even qualify as legally defined abuse (verses what they were told is "abuse) is long gone and they've usually got about 30 days to reconstruct financial support, a career, housing for them and the kids....stuff most did not sign up for. What about all the women who don't want to go this route but are then forced, coerced and/or extorted into divorcing and prosecuting husbands against their will? You can all say "she should want to" but that does not allow for respecting their choices. It's religious persecution to force concersions. Esp when they were lied to about what is "abuse" that will not stand up to judicial defintions. Why do we allow these D/V "advocates" to get away with all this? This is not just helping vulnerable partners find a way out. They are forcing conversions! Ever had anyone threaten you with the loss of your child/ren to force conversions? If it's illegal, it's illegal whether she testifies or not. Most court cases are the government against an (alleged) perpetrator and need evidence not just one persons testimony. If she want's a divorce, let her. If it's a crime, prosecute it! But lets stop abusing the abused. Why don't any governments stop this? Why do we let our police just refer to these 'advocates" when/if they are just as abusive as abusers?... Read More »
