Here in britain women sometimes make up false accusations as they know the police will help them remove the men from the house.Then they end up with the house and the children.

The most important thing is that it does not revictimize, pathologize or patronize the victim; on the contrary, it empowers her and helps her to open the gates to a better future for her and her children.

That marriage is seen as sanctuary by society for women, not men, is reason enough to question whether the institution is rooted in solid values of respect for both parties. Where marriage is seen as a convenience for men, and a sanctuary for women, the dynamics of domestic partnership violence has already been constructed, and execution is all that is left to be carried out, whether mild or severe. Expectations surrounding the parties are made, sacrifices expected by one or both identified, and social arrangements made to carry out this repetitive drama done, leaving the parties together to sort out their difficulties, warning society to stay out of their problems. How personal relationships can survive with these predetermined flaws is what is more amazing. All children are caught in the middle of these difficulties.
