I often wonder this same question, how can someone love me, then beat me? I will never truly understand the mind of a batterer. I will never understand why I had to flee my home with my son, black eye in tow, bruised arms shoulder to wrist, and bruises on my neck from an attempted strangulation. To further understand, is to first understand domestic violence, and why it happens. I have come to understand that it is a way to assert power and control, by using threats and coercion, and often ending in disturbing violence, as it happened to me. The following sites can shed some light, both truthful, but disturbing facts of domestic violence, and the acts and mind of a batterer.
