Also have to watch so that she doesn’t “bring down” the othersLeader asked for us to define domestic violence, what is it from our perspective so we see the signsAlicia P is in trouble, she is only here because her parents forced her, she doesn’t think its violence if her boyfriend apologizes for it afterAlicia is in denial regarding her abuse, she constantly makes excuses for her boyfriend’s control and physical abuse. First step for her is to realize that she is being abused and that it isn’t normal in a relationshipCoping mechanisms to help us get throughLeader emphasizes group support, community support and Cheri refuses to believe anyone will help. Unless Cheri learns to lean on and accept the support from the group as a start she might go back to her abuser. She doesn’t believe she can do it alone.We are trying to find positive things and what to look forward to, realizing we deserve something betterCheri needs to see not getting physically hit and walking on eggshells every day IS a positive stepWe have to acknowledge in the group that leaving was the first step and not living in fear is a positiveEach session the members seem to open up and trust a little moreIt seems to get easier each session for the members to communicate and open upThe more the members talk and share, the stronger the bond and the more they feel safe in the group ................
