[QUOTE="Yitzchak, post: 15074722, member: 8411"] I think that one needs to seperate abuse into levels of severity. My sister-in-law was beat with a baseball bat resulting in broken bones and a near death experience. She also had a loaded gun put in her mouth and was theatened by the same man who was the father of her child. To my thinking that is a different level of abuse than throwing a ball at someone or slapping them. I have no idea how the courts handle such distinctions. My ex once slapped me in a fit of anger during an arguement. But we were married for 15 years and it only happened once. of course I didn't report it. Not so much out of embarrassment or some emotional concern for her. I just didn't consider it abuse. I catagorized it as she lost her temper. There was no injury to speak of. Now if she would have taken a baseball bat and broken some bones or tryed to stab me with a knife , theat would have been different. I think that the U.S. has gone overboard with the whole abuse thing. Many things that I hear of defined as abuse are simply an arguement or someone losing their temper. When I think of abuse, I think of a pattern of behavior or someone attacking someone with the intent of injury. Do we really need to jail women for slapping their boyfriend in the face??? Let's save our righteous anger for those who really deserve it like my sister-in-law's husband. [/QUOTE]
