DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS A SYMPTOM

It is everywhere.

There is no specific age group, no specific income group, no specific race, no specific religion, no specific work place, no specific separation.

Domestic Violence is a world wide symptom of the most pressing, most damaging, most destructive issue facing humanity today.

If evolution were correctly understood, it could be said that evolution has reversed in humanity today.

Instead of gaining better self-control. Instead of increasing self-awareness. Instead of gaining additional use of the mental capacity of the human brain: humans today are backing away from centuries of growth and improvement. Humans are reverting to basic animal instinct.

Humans are becoming reactionary creatures. No thought. No pause. No self-control.

This is no more evident than in the day to day human interaction of family.

The AI lie is not helping matters. But it is not responsible for this decrease in self-control. Self-awareness is both hereditary and acquired.

Concentrating on emotions means allowing the results of reactions to dictate the next move. Emotions are the result of mental processes. Emotions are not causes of anything other than grief or joy.

As is true with most fields of study today, causes are not causes but rather the appearance of actions.

When asking what the cause of domestic violence is this is the kind of result that is accepted as realistic: notice how the accepted ’cause’ is not a cause but a choice.

“The primary cause of domestic violence is the abuser’s choice to exert power and control over an intimate partner. Contrary to popular belief, it is not caused by stress, mental illness, alcohol, or drugs, although these factors may exacerbate violent episodes.

Experts identify several contributing factors and underlying dynamics:

Learned Behavior: Many abusers grow up witnessing or experiencing abuse, normalizing violence as a method to resolve conflicts or cope with fear.

Entitlement and Beliefs: Abusers often believe they are entitled to control their partners, reinforced by strict religious or patriarchal beliefs that place women beneath men in status.

Emotional Triggers: Issues such as low self-esteem, extreme jealousy, difficulties managing anger, and feeling inferior to a partner can drive the need for domination.

Social Reinforcement: Cultural traditions, peer groups, and family environments that tolerate or ignore abuse can reinforce these tactics.

Ultimately, while mental health disorders or substance use may co-occur, they are not the root cause; domestic violence is a pattern of behavior where the perpetrator chooses to intimidate, isolate, and harm their partner to maintain dominance.” [16]

Mental health has become more feel good non-judgmental garbage than treatment.

Once again observational delusion is ruling this field.

When asking what causes domestic violence the obvious visual clues take over. The topic becomes domestic instead of violence.

Violence is caused by the lack of self-control. It doesn’t matter how intense the trigger is for violence, if self-control is in control there will not be a violent reaction. Period.

Self-control is the brakes of mental health. Everyone has experienced the moment where anger or frustration reaches a point where something needs to be done and that something is more than is needed. It is a step beyond where the decision is made to give in. A dog barking and not stopping can invoke the feeling to hit the dog. But actually doing that is a matter of self-control. A spouse, no matter which gender, either one, can be so aggravating that the other spouse can feel the need to physically stop the aggravation. Whether that happens physically is completely up to self-control. Whether it is actual aggravation or perceived aggravation the animal instinct of fighting kicks in without self-control.

The definition of self-control as accepted today is flat out wrong.

“Self-control — or the ability to manage one’s impulses, emotions, and behaviors to achieve long-term goals—is what separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. Self-control is primarily rooted in the prefrontal cortex—the planning, problem-solving, and decision making center of the brain—which is significantly larger in humans than in other mammals.” [17]

NO! Self-control DOES NOT separate humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. The dog that is hit will reactively attack if self-control does not exist. Training can change that. The size of the prefrontal cortex has nothing at all to do with what goes on inside of it.

Look closely. The definition of self-control offered by Psychology Today [17] is not a definition but rather a description of what it appears to look like. Observational delusion is in control. Self-control does not have a purpose of achieving long-term goals. This definition is pure garbage. After ruining the question the answer continues by talking about where the author thinks it takes place (it does not) there is no such thing as a ‘decision center of the brain’. And size only matters in food portions.

The state of mental health is purely pathetic.

The section of this horrible observationally delusional definition states: “The richness of nerve connections in the prefrontal cortex enables people to plan, evaluate alternative actions, and ideally avoid doing things they’ll later regret, rather than immediately respond to every impulse as it arises.” [17]

How many connections in the prefrontal cortex has nothing to do with the system it uses. The more the merrier does not apply to the brain. The failure to immediately respond to impulse as it arises is the self-control mechanism of self-awareness. NOT THE FREAKING CONNECTIONS. This field is DISGUSTING.

Domestic violence is a symptom of a much larger species threatening problem.

Mental health can be taught. It will be taught. Mental health professionals will receive training. A few things are in the way for that to happen.
