If you were offended/hurt/harassed/abused........., by someone you love... Options

[xj_liana_tx]

if you were like hurt seriously (abused/harassed...) by someone you love, say like your parents, would do do anything, would you report them?? I mean, it's a really big emotional conflict because you love them and you don't want them to get hurt, but they keep hurting you and you've got no choice... it's just a scenario but think about it, if it happens to you, what would you have done?? send them to jail means you don't see them anymore and have to know that they are suffering, which might not be good either since you love them very much. But on the other hand, if you don't do anything, YOU will get hurt more and more and have to carry a burden....
i would've broke down and cry.. i wouldn't know what to do.. i mean, i can't stand sending them to jail nor do i want to keep suffering.

if it happens continuously, you must call the police or child abuse hotline. They won't nessecarily go to jail, but might have to take a counseling course.

i would call the cops on them even if i love them, because then they might be able to be helped with their problem,even if it means them hating me. in the end, i would hope they would forgive me,and maybe even thank me for helping them fix their problem,if it got fixed...

[TheStartingLine]

if it would ever happen, i would run yelling rape the whole way home.

[whomps]

Are you talking abuse ? As in child abuse? I don't think I would really love someone that hit me all the time.. I would probably end up hating them inside and having all these emotional problems.

- Breakdown
- Possibility of suicide
- Run away

It was weird, my parents always called it "discipline"...I didn't know anything around the ages of 2-7. So I guess it was discipline... I wasn't smart enough to ever think of calling 911 or anything when it got really bad... I'm harassed by kids at school...I can't say I "love" them as they're jsut either "friends" or acquaintances.

My parents use to hit me when I was little. But it was disipline.. when I first heard that it was bad to hit your kids, I was like "Whaa? but my parents hit me all the time >_>" But I understand that it is just discipline. Because I did bad stuff And now, since I'm older, they haven't laid a hand on me.. ever since I turned like.. 11. Or 12.. maybe 10. But yeah. I asked my mom why she stopped hitting me.. and she said it was because if you hit your kids when they're older they'll run away.. er yeah. o-o And they're more mature so they know.. stuff. Yeah.

what id want to do would be call the cops or an elder. but what i would actually do would be say nothing& break down(ive been offended hurt &harassed.) if i feel as if i love them. in which it wouldnt be love. but the mind is a hard thing to control. ORR i might fight back -_- but i dont think i would.
i knew someone who was severly abused by her exboyfriend. she has scars over her body. im scared of relationships that would be like that. at the time she was being abused i didnt know her. but when she told me she cried. i could see the fear and anger in her eyes. i wish i could have done something. past is the past.

[xj_liana_tx]

yeah my parents used to *disciplin* me too, and my dad was like "call the police if you like, because that means i am going to jail and you won't let that happen." my dad has a lot of moodswings .. nvm

[jr0h]

i'd kick his a s s

[Mireh]

i'd hurt them back/ publicly embarrass them. ;]

[Heathasm]

its not freaking easy to report a family member for abuse....or any one that you love....i have occasional break downs but surround myself with friends to keep me sane for a couple of months

[you suck]

my mom smacks me around once in a while but thats their job!!! j/p
seriously tho, no1 would try to touch me ( being that i knew them) because i try n make myself seem hard n shht so ppl dont fcuk w/ me.
but the cops always work!

[Jealousy]

I would move out or away from the person if I could.
Spend as much time away from them as possible.

[xquizit]

i'll tell u one thing, i wouldn't call the cops. but i may fight back, break down, talk to someone else about it, or run away... thats what i've done all these years.

[swtpumkinpie]

if it was a significant other, i'd maybe want to call the police or fight back. I would get out of any abusive relationship i'm in because i won't take any abuse.

[rockmyx]

l came from a broken family. when my mother died, my father took me and my little sister back to our old house. He keeps saying that l am not his son and l should pay him back all the kindness and things that he's giving me. My sister has his birth mark like him on the shoulder so he treat her very well. l start being a house boy and when l reach the age of 10, serving my cruel stepmother.One day he said that l was needed in the Armoring shop he own and every day after l came from school, l go there just to work.He took my childhood away from me and let me suffer every day. When he's mad, he always beat me up. l was 17 when l run away before he kick me out of his house. l really hate him for destroying my life. l dont call the police coz he really loves my sister alot. l'm even greatful that l dont carry his last name.

[*Xxswiftxx*]

omg that's horrible! so you still love him and you don't want him to go to jail?? do you guys still live together?

[Ladii_D1809]

i couldn't call the police, i'm the type of person who feels that when they get out of trouble that they would try it again,i haven't told anyone about any thing that has happened to me over the pass years. like roxy said i'd probably break down, or run away. I've done it all my life now why end it?

[smthngcrprategrl...]

my family is so screwed up! a majority of the people are crazy. i'd probably fight back the first few times but if it got frequent enough i'd tell somebody and have something done about it. it doesn't matter if you love them if they love you they wouldn't hurt you like that

[Ange1sillusion]

i'm a very sensitive person, and if something like that were to happen to me, i'd start hiding in my rm, cry out all my tears, and eventually talk to a close friend about it. the talking part would take place days after the incident, because i'll need my time to bring things out in the open. events like these could hit us hard.

[inthemudhole]

-Possibility of commiting suicide.
I'd probably go that route.. but yet.. I don't know, actually. I'm not in this situation. I MIGHT tell someone, but I'm not sure..
