GENDER VIOLENCE 333 FINAL PROJECT:
HISTORY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & RAPE IN KENTUCKY
Duration : 0:6:11
I am living with my parents and I’m in my late twenties (yes I realise I should have moved out a long time ago- realistically the earliest I can afford to move out is in two months). Perhaps I have stayed here this long because I am worried about my mum’s safety if I leave but have recently decided it’s her choice that she stays with my dad but that’s slightly off topic.
I’ll try and be brief. My dad has depression. He is probably bi-polar but my mum is vague about this. He has a history of violence with me and my sister but the last time he was violent was in 1993 when he pushed my sister down the stairs and the police got involved.
Ever since he has not been violent but a month ago he threatened to assault me because I had "answered him back". I am never rude to him or don’t swear at him but he seems to think I don’t have the right to speak my mind. In summary he is controlling and he is a bully.
He does n’t ask me to do things he tells me to do things. I feel threatened if I don’t comply as he speaks in a threatening tone and looks threatening. My mum is usually a buffer when I’m in the house but she is currently away in a different continent visiting relatives until Monday. In any case she does n’t accept the seriousness of the situation. I have spoken to the police and they recorded the incident that happened a month ago. They said that if I get threatened or attacked again in future I just need to call 999. I feel that my case is n’t being taken seriously. I know they have made a record of this but they say they can not do anything else right now as his last episode of violence was in 1993. Is there anyone else I can talk to?
Hi Mel, You are to be applauded for staying so long for the sake of your mother, many mothers also put up with similar emotional and physical abuse for the sake of their children. I was in a similar situation with my first husband, but was forced to take action because he refused to go to work after the birth of our third child and became even more abusive towards me after the 4th. The trouble with bullies is that the more you try to pacify them the worse they become. After I left, taking the children with me, I found the senior police totally unsympathetic. If you ring 999 there is no guarantee that you will get immediate assistance. I would suggest you talk to a church minister and, if you can manage it, take up lodgings with a friend, YMCA, Salvation Army or Youth Hostel, you deserve a safe and comfortable home. Good luck. God bless. Gladgran
Domestic abuse is on the increase in New Zealand and so is the level of violence involved.
That is worrying enough for those who help the victims, but most alarming, they say, is a rise in the use of strangulation.
It is a violent act where just seconds can mean the difference between life and a horrific death.
One woman or child is killed every 12-and-a-half days in New Zealand as the result of domestic violence.
Jill Proudfoot from victim’s refuge Shine (Safer Homes in NZ Everyday) says strangulation is basically power display.
“It’s saying I could kill you if I want to. Whenever you attack a person’s throat you’re saying I could kill you,” says Proudfoot.
Two recent high profile murder cases in New Zealand involved strangulation.
Nai Yin Xue literally squeezed the life out of his wife and just days before Clayton Weatherston killed and mutilated Sophie Elliot, her mother, Lesley Elliott, says he had held his arm around her throat.
Annette Gillespie from Women’s Refuge says sometimes women do not understand the significance of strangulation and that it is in fact an attempt to kill.
Proudfoot says the fact that Weatherston put his arm across Elliott’s throat was a real warning sign.
The strangulation statistics make for disturbing reading.
There are no visible injuries 90% of the time, so it is hard for a victim to prove what has happened.
In 90% of cases there has been a history of domestic violence and in 99% of the cases, those who resort to using strangulation, are men.
Despite the dangers, many stay with their abuser, even though it might lead to more terrifying consequences.
“I had one woman say to me at least while I’m living with him I know where he is,” says Proudfoot.
ONE News spoke to a woman who finally found the courage to leave her abusive partner.
She says he threw her into a doorway, pushed her on to the ground and when she had the chance to run, he chased her through the house.
She says it filled her days with terror. Worst of all she says, all this happened right in front of their children.
“He ended up pushing me on top of my then four-year-old daughter,” says the victim.
After two decades of intense psychological abuse, her husband had started getting physical.
“I knew I had to get out for me and then I would fight for my children even if I had to walk out the door without them,” says the woman.
She says she used to be one of those women who did not have the courage to leave.
“Even if a woman thinks she’s in an abusive situation, even if she’s doubting herself, (she needs) to talk to somebody. I left it way too late,” she says.
She hopes her story will help others escape the violence, too.
