Answer: False

False. Throughout the U.S. there is a network of battered women's shelters which will provide shelter, clothing, food, job training, job referrals, counseling and childcare for free to their residents.
10. Domestic Violence only happens in poor minority families in the U.S.

Answer: False

False. Domestic Violence is no respecter of persons. It strikes the rich, the poor and the middle classed. It doesn't care about race. It strikes African-Americans, Asian, Native American and Caucasian families, whether American born or foreign born. It happens in every religion known to man.

12. An abuser feels that he is "King of his own castle" due to his own lack of self-esteem.

Answer: True

True. Abusers and victims of Domestic Violence share the characteristic of low self-esteem. Abusers feel that they must be the King of the Castle in order to be 'true men' and act in that fashion as well. Abusers feel that they MUST control every move that their victims make and must know where their victims are at all times in order to control them.

It's the abuser's way or no way. If she doesn't comply with his demands, abuse can and will result.
13. Domestic Violence doesn't affect the children raised with it.

Answer: False

False. Children are deeply affected by Domestic Violence. They are fearful and will feel guilty because they can't 'save mommy' due to the fact of their own fear or simply because they are too small to be effective. Boys raised in domestically violent homes can become abusers, while girls can be primed to become future battered women without proper intervention.
14. Only women can be victims of Domestic Violence.

Answer: False

False. Males can be victims also, regardless of sexual orientation. Women can also be abusers. The Battered Men's Movement is still in its infancy and the public is in need of education concerned male victims. There are a few male shelters in the U.S., but this movement still has a long way to go in order to make the public aware of battered men.
15. Once a victim leaves her abuser, she's safe forever from him.

Answer: False

The abuser becomes enraged when he discovers his victim has escaped and will stalk her and search for her everywhere he can until he finds her. He will then usually cry and plead with her to come back. If that doesn't work, he'll threaten and attempt to intimidate her. If that still doesn't work, then he may well resort to "Separation Violence" which is, by far, more vicious and malicious than his violence in the past and may result in hospitalization or even death for the victim.
