Domestic violence (within a household) is a PATTERN of abusive behavior in ANY relationship.

Domestic Violence in its highest form originates and is found within households nation-wide when we choose to partner with our BFF called, "Television."

Television is televised programming occurring through various media outlets spanning over countries and continents worldwide. Television is not limited to a TV screen. All that is needed is a PLATFORM.

RelationshipConnection or association

between TWO or more concepts (ideas), objects or people.

Domestic Violence finds its root in the ground of rejection. Rejection: “She/He or They don’t receive me or something I said or something I did.” – I’ve been deprived of UNCONDITIONAL love.

We don’t base love upon performance. We cannot afford to base our love for one another

merely off of what we do for each other. Our love for each other must be based upon the type of personality we reflect to one another.

Identity: Who you are is not based upon people doing what you say nor it is bases upon fitting in with a crowd of unIDentified objects (people, places or things).

Why Did I Get Married?

We have been de-sensitized to domestic violence due to society conforming to mediocrity. This is not PEACE.

What makes us feel good (in laughter) is sometimes an injury suffered by the body (community).

What is Abusive Behavior?Where do these patterns of abusive

behavior originate from?

ABUSE – Diverts from the original purpose of concepts (ideas), objects or people causing injury or BODILY harm.

Patterns of abusive behavior originate from our family situation in addition to our daily intake.

The environment (home life) we set for our children must compliment the purpose that has been placed on the inside of them. Often times when home life (the environment) is chaotic, our children look to find peace in externals associates (music, movies, television, sex, internet, drugs, etc... etc...).

 As we know peace is found (or discovered) within, but our children may not be aware of this truth if the parents are not demonstrating this truth in action. When the parents are not walking in demonstration of peace, the children will latch on to what we call their step-parents (music, movies, television, sex, internet, drugs, etc... etc...) and find their "peace" with their external associates.
