Simpleton? For Sure.

My version of “abuse” was simple…someone hit someone, hurt them physically, the cops came, and the abuser was taken away. The person who was hurt was perfectly ok after “Starsky and Hutch” sorted them out. They went on their merry way…the bad guy was gone forever! Phew! I feel better!

Funny thing…in real life, the bad guy got out the next day because the abused person bailed them out. Wait. What! Why???

Physical abuse leaves bruises and blood and broken bones, even death. When a person returns to their abuser, it usually indicates profound insecurity and desperation. The abuser holds all the “cards” (access to children, family, friends, money, etc)…no matter what your social standing. The “abused” has fundamentally “lost” themselves to the abusive relationship.

How does this happen?

Easily…

We forget. Or, we never knew.

All human beings are born in perfection. No matter the health, the wealth, the religion, the sex, the religion, the state, the country, the politics. No matter what, we are born to the universe in LOVE. What happens afterward is profound…

What happens afterward is up to each of us.

Just sayin…
