Video: Rihanna Breaks Her Silence! (Tears Up On When Speaking On Chris Brown Hitting Her)
I found this excerpt from the interview with Rhianna to be really interesting in particularly one respect:
-She blames herself for her situation, for "falling in love with that kind of person". I'd actually never heard a victim articulate that specifically -- I've heard them say they egged their abuser on, etc. (often convinced of that by the abuser), but never that they blamed themselves for falling in love.
Do you think many victims feel that way? If so is that part of why they stay in these abusive relationships far too long, often with deadly consequences?
Overall, do you think Rhianna's speaking out will have a much-needed impact on women currently living in a violent household?
