Why Does He Do That?

I am trying to find out when Why Does He Do That will be aired in the Chicago area. I have not been able to discover that on this website. Can you help me? It does not seem to be scheduled for any of the local PBS stations. Will it be carried on cable stations?

When will this be airing? Please let me know ASAP. I am very interested in this documentary and would really appreciate a response.

I need help in the Los Angeles California area. Please help.

This program was very compelling. The cycle of abuse I can truly relate. From the statement of initially not acknowledging the abuse as well as the self deception and making the choice to stay in the abusive relationship to the escape. The root cause of why women allow themselves to be abused is as varied as the forms of abuse. It is heart breaking that "1 out of 3" women are abused. It is a story that needs to be told. Not just after the fact but as a preventative for our many young women, teenagers and girls. Thank you.

I believe God led me to this program tonight. I am in the process of divorcing an abusive spouse after 29 years of living in fear and feeling that everything was my fault. Thank you for this program!

For so long I knew that it was abuse I wont lie to myself. This was a program that showed very much my life; the only difference is that I didn't want to go through the hassle. Sounds crazy I know I truly new that when I got so annoyed with the situation I would start putting the wheels in motion. Here is the sick part of me; I’ve been diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis since 1983 boy has it been tough. I was married to my mate since 1978 for the wrong reasons; wanted out of my parent’s house. Don’t get me wrong came from a middle class background very much loved and provided for. My mate was from a poor background, one pair or shoes having to share those shoes with his brothers. At the age of 15 I saw the signs but too niece to know get away from him. The striking didn’t begin there. It was like the thing he would say to me like " why don't you give my sister your sweater. He always wanted a piece of my clothing; of course he didn’t get it. The story is too long. Well I’m 32 years married we had our fights but this week I knew deep in my heart it was time to go. His manner in the way he speaks to the weekly arguments and me over money is ridiculous. I make much more then him and that’s always been a problem highly educated with 2 masters degree in education and technology. He didn’t continue with his education after HS I did even have 2 children while doing so. I can even begin to tell you what this relationship has done to my son; he never had a real man in his life to guide him. With me in and out of the hospital because of Multiple Sclerosis, My daughter I tried talking to her about my thought and she didn’t take me seriously, my husband has her convinced that I imagine thing all the time. Watching that program today helped me with the dos and don’ts and one thing I will not be discussing anything with her. My son and his wife will be helping me find a place to live. Yes as I said Ive maid my decision now I will carry it through. I know it won't be easy and it might get quite ugly. How ugly can it get I just want to finally breath and enjoy my grand kid.

God is faithful.He led me to watch this program last night on TBN.I am the circle of abuse and this program helped me know to what to do to be free.I am soo thankful to God.God bless LIFE FOCUS ORG!

I am a survivor of domestic violence. I was very blessed to be able to get out of it when i did. Now not only am I a survivor, I work for the women's shelter in my hometown. I facilitate classes on DV all over our city and three parishes. It feels so good to help empower women who have had to live in fear. Now with the services we provide, they dont have to.

To " needs help in LA and all women who saw the program and wonder what to do next...There is a national domestic violence hotline. The number is 1-800-799-SAFE. They can give you the information you need and direct you to services in your area. To the woman in LA ( or anyone living in California ) there is the California Partnership to end Domestic Violence 1-800-524-4765 or www.cpedv.org.
If you need help - please reach out ! No one should live in fear of the one they love...

I would like to get a copy of this series. I missed it when it aired on June 4, 2010 at 10 or 11 pm CT. Can you please help me.

Thank you for showing this video. I am currently involved with “Women of Domestic Violence” support group funded by the local government. I am (still) married to my husband of 34 yrs. but did not see my pain was associated with what is called non-physical abuse. I grew up with seeing the physical kind but I was not aware that abuse is also psychological and emotional as well until I was up late one night crying (again) and saw a presentation on TV. Then when I saw the video, so much of it was exactly my story …… he’s so charming and other people did not have a clue what was going on. I left for a short time but his fury was not so much I left but that he was now exposed and his image was tarnished. There’s too much to go into now but when I finally recognized the cycle, I decided to find help and know that I am fortunate in finding a support group so close to home. However, it’s so sad to know that this problem is so much bigger than people realize. I would like more information on how I can add a support group in my church to help women (men) who don’t know that there is something out here for them.

To " GET A COPY OF THE SERIES" - if you click on "store" you can order a copy of the program for $20.

To "ADD A SUPPORT GROUP" - These groups need to be conducted by trained professionals . Talk to Women of Domestic Violence. Then talk to your church to see if they would be willing to host.

I am a survivor , too. Not of assault, but of emotional abuse. For 18 years I thought my husband's behavior was ...normal. ( I saw it in my family growing up. I thought it was the way men and women ..interacted..always.) In the group I attended - half of the women were physically assaulted, half were not - yet we all swore we were married to the same man. You may be beaten, you may not- but the patterns of verbal and emotional abuse are always there and the same.The problem is HUGE ( and not limited to one gender - good for you for noticing ! ) Please, keep on going to Women of Domestic Violence, if you can, go to private counseling, as well. Read. Only after you feel strong - reach out to others to offer support when they need it. You can also check with the national hotline to find other organizations to help.( The phone number is listed 2 posts above yours. ) Unfortunately, your story and mine and millions of others is almost exactly..the same.

I want to see this program. I was told about it through FOCUS who helped me heal from my abusive marraige to a pastor. I am so grateful to all who speak out to help woman who are living in the nightmare of fear and abuse. I am 29 years old with a masters raised in a wonderful Godly home. Abuse can be in any woman's life leaving deep pain and shame. The Christain community needs to hear the cry for help from it's woman in the church. Please keep telling the world of this horror called domestic violence.

although I did not see the program, I stumbled upon this discussion while looking for other information from the same source - my son is bi-polar, I just have to say - Please! Abuse is horrific. However, the problem of abuse does not just come from a man! My 30 year old son finally realized (2.5 years of abuse later) that after the woman he was living with hit him over the back of the head with (thank goodness it was) a whiffle bat, it was time to go, before next time it was a wooden bat or steel pipe! Her tongue was 10 x's worse on a routine basis. That is only a tip of a very nasty iceberg.
My point here is this. There is a Safe Passage group in our vicinity. It was the message on the pamphlet describing the abusive cycle that enabled him to plan his escape. He could insert his circumstances on all points. However, because the wording kept saying women, he declined counseling from them - it was just for women. He is alone, hurt and ashamed, but with time hopefully he will also heal and feel worthy of care and love from another human being.

I believe my son is being abuse and know he has a girlfriend, after 12 years of marriage to a woman who has lead him to cut all ties with hi faily. Men go through this too!

Thank you Leah for your bravery, boldness, honesty and for sharing your story (testimony). So many Pastor's wives have a pivates closet for the many mask that they wear; all for protecting the ministry and the man they love. "The Pastor's wife is the only person in the church that cannot go to her Pastor for counseling" - especially if she's having marital problems." There are so many hurting women and I know that some men also hurt. The only difference is that they have a Pastor to go to. My prayer is that your story will help save the lives of so many abused wives. May you remember the story of the Pastor in Al., that put his wife in the freezer for four years. It's been almost two years since they found her and I found myself weeping for her uncontrollable at times - especially after meeting some of her children. This never should have happened. We've started a "Safe Place for Pastor's & Min. Wives" THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! May God perserve and keep you. May He Restore the years that the cankerworm ate up. Never turn away from the True & Living God who delivered you. Know that you must continue to pray for him. Keep you focus and watch what God does in your life

I haven't seen it yet, but really want to ASAP! I live in NH, when and where can I see it?

HHIS I suhold have thought of that!
