Middle Class Domestic Abuse...

[NurseryQ]

...anyone experienced / experiencing this...? Manipulation / control / aggression / threats / put downs etc...just in case, you know, you weren't sure or thought it must be your fault.

eh?

Domestic abuse spans all classes, all creeds, all nationalities... it knows no bounds.

this sounds straight out of the DM

the above e.g cover all classes, unless I'm mistaken and all lower class domestic violence cases involves being beaten over the head and dragged back to their primitive council house?

WT???

Oh do I have to be poor/rich/somewhere in the middle to be abused now? Was there a memo? Could someone forward me a copy...

Or have i gone Up/Down a level due to Domestic Abuse

Who on earth do you think normally does it?

Have a look at the link above your thread title, the Domestic Violence Webguide and check out Woman's Aid. That site has more info than you can poke a stick at.

I'm sure if you look carefully, you will see that There R millions Of Life Lines out there.

HTH

If you feel something isn't right, it most probably isn't. If you are questioning your own judgement, then something is going on, and it isn't good. Would a stranger in the street do these things to you?

are you nosuchthingassociety? OP?

Because that poster was posting similarly odd posts the other day

"Any woman can experience domestic violence regardless of race, ethnic or religious group, class, disability or lifestyle. Domestic violence can also take place in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender relationships. Domestic violence can also be perpetrated by other family members (for example, extended family). In some cases, older children - teenagers or young adults - are violent or abusive towards their mothers or other family members"

DV is not about class. It's about power.

Yeah, no kidding. Wasn't really the point.

But f* it

ahh ok, apologies. I see what you were trying to do now.

Why add a link to eye wear? Nursery?

There is a book called "Not to people like us" - looks at US upper-middle classes, but you might find it helpful.

Thanks NT.
