Domestic Violence and Substance Abuse: How are they related?

8/5/2011

Domestic violence and substance abuse: Can drugs cause domestic violence?

Domestic violence and substance abuse: two controversial terms. Can substance abuse cause domestic violence? We can't think of substance abuse as an activity that leads or causes domestic violence directly. As we all know, there may be different causes for each and every one of the domestic violence cases. But how are domestic violence and substance abuse related? Domestic violence and substance abuse is a very broad subject (and I'm going to focus his time on drugs because I'd like to mention something at the end of this post about it) but there have been some victims of domestic violence that have shared their domestic violence stories and they have revealed that drugs have been a leading cause of the domestic violence that they have experienced. Why? Here's a case scenario: "A man is addicted to marijuana but he is broke, so he resorts to his wife so he can get the money to buy marijuana. The woman concerned, denies his request . As an addict he can't live with that response so either he performs emotional abuse to manipulate his victim and get what he wants." Here's another case scenario: " A woman who is addicted to marijuana comes back home after partying and gets into an argument with her boyfriend. Subsequently she performs physical abuse against him." Again, it's not that drugs are a leading cause to domestic violence but there have been cases in which it has happened. I'd like to hear what you have to say! Now what do you think about the legalization of cannabis / legalization of marijuana? Should the US government "legalize weed" in the country as a whole? Reportedly Roseanne Barr wants to legalize marijuana. According to multiple resources, Roseanne Barr announced on The Tonight Show that she wants to legalize weed! Click to read more about: Roseanne Barr wants to legalize marijuana. Do you think that the nationwide legalization of cannabis will be a good idea? Let me know what you think!

Rushing into marriage: Does religion have any type of involvement?

What are the possible rushing into marriage problems? Rushing into marriage is a actually a phrase that we may hear often, but that's because there's usually a message behind it. Whenever someone says: I'm not rushing into marriage, we can assume that the person who is making that statement has in his or her mind that there could be rushing into marriage problems shortly after their wedding day. Now, when we want to discuss rushing into marriage problems we need to be very tactful because if you are part of a rushing into marriage conversation between you and a person who you know and you love very much (for example a sibling), it could be quite hurtful for both sides. You want to be as subtle as possible. What are the consequences of rushing into marriage? By the way, click here to find out what Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney (The Bachelor) have to say about rushing into marriage! Let's take a look at this unedited and unpolished sneak peek of Life is Like a Box of Chocolates: An Inspirational Novel:

Rushing into marriage problems: Is this an indication / prediction?

See, when we also talk about rushing into marriage we need to be aware of that there could be other circumstances involved in. Have you ever felt like someone is rushing you into marriage for religious reasons? Perhaps you are pregnant so you believe that your parents are applying pressure to you? Maybe you think that you guys as a couple are rushing into marriage for conservative and cultural reasons? I'd love to hear what you think about this.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Does love at first sight exist? What does love at first sight mean?

Do you believe in love at first sight? Does love at first sight exist? Love at first sight is a feeling of instant romantic attraction towards someone upon the first sight. See, there are several ways in which anyone can define: love at first sight. But the definition of love at first sight does not necessarily mean that you have just fallen in love with the person that you just saw for the first time, it means that you feel extremely attracted in a romantic level. What does love at first sight mean? Ok, let me begin by briefly adding that there is this one particular scene in Life is Like a Box of Chocolates, An Inspirational Novel where you'll be able to determine whether the character experiences love at first sight or not! The scene takes place at a moment in the character's life where you will be able to decide: Was this love at first sight or was this just mere attraction? See what you may not see right now is that the character's role is acting like a sponge, and is being extremely vulnerable after so many events that 'caused so many emotional wounds. So how do you really know that this was love at first sight? The scene takes place at a "bus station". Once the novel gets released and you read the full scene I'd like you to come back here and type down whether you think it was love at first sight or not, 'cause it can be questionable sometimes! So do you believe in love at first sight? By the way, have you seen this photo of Jennifer Hudson and Barack Obama? Click on this link to view, it I call it: Jennifer Hudson and Barack Obama: Love at first sight. According to Wikipedia, love at first sight has 2 bases; this is according to studies. Attractiveness, or what some could consider to be "love at first sight" could be determined in as little as .13 seconds! Then the very first minutes of a relationship have demonstrated to be predictive of the future of a relationship. Now how about you? Do you believe in love at first sight? What does love at first sight mean to you? How about love at no sight? Does that change the way you think about "love at first sight"? Now most importantly, do you believe in love at first sight?

So it all dates back to 1976 in a town in a town in Guatemala called: Zacapa. The terrain iwas a great match to the cultivation of quality sugar cane. So the cane would always be grown in in volcanic soil. Nevertheless, unlike most rums instead of using molasses as their foundation, Zacapa has always used virgin sugar cane honey. The Zacapa rum gets it's amazing and distinctive rum taste due to it's incredible aging process!

It all takes place on the Quetzaltenango highlands, which is 2,300 metres above sea level! This is actually where the cool mountain air slows the aging process. And it all creates a unique complexity of taste and flavor resulting in premium dark rum that will just blow your mind away.

Custody battle agreements: Are they always fair?

Custody battle agreements can be extremely difficult to reach, but custody battle agreements can be especially like that when both parents completely disagree with the time that they want to spend with their children.

Do you think that the custody battle agreements between Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva soul be based on a 50/50 joint custody agreement? Or do you think that their custody battle agreements should stay the way it is right now? Would you like to share your story? Are you happy with custody battle agreements the that you and your former spouse made? Or do you feel that you were obligated to make a decision in your custody battle agreements because somehow you felt manipulated or you felt that you were set up by someone? Why?
