[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1276717, member: 1132"] Sorry to hear about your mother. Did she call the police and file charges the first time it happened? I understand battered woman syndrome, but each person is responsible for THEIR actions, not those of another person. The reasonable person standard applies to this issue as with any other legal matter. If you are truly suffering from abuse, the proscribed legal remedy is to file a criminal complaint, get a VPO, cease all contact with the abuser and follow through in court. If you follow these steps, you stand a MUCH greater likelihood of being found not guilty of a crime when you allege that you were protecting yourself from a dangerous and violent person with whom you have a relationship. Otherwise, it's just domestic violence and women can be just as violent as men, even if it's most frequently the male who is the aggressor. [/QUOTE]
