Remain powerless - or take responsibility?

domestic violence

Violent people are often controlled by compulsions and try to suppress negative emotions such as aggression, powerlessness and fear.

In doing so they usually blame their anger on the situation or on others and refuse to take responsibility for their own deeds and actions. There is no excuse for violence, especially not in the family. There is no shame in having problems. However, help should be sought before it is too late.
What you can do as the perpetrator:
  • Contact an advice centre for violent men.
  • Speak to people you are close to about your feelings and problems.
  • Learn how others handle pressurised situations and anger.
  • Think about how to react next time in a similar situation.
  • Step back at the first sign of stress and conflict.
  • Leave the house when you realise "it" has reached that point again.
  • Take a walk or talk to friends.
  • Seek help from a doctor, psychologist or advice centre.
  • Perhaps talk to a confidant at work about your problem with violence.
