Lundy Bancroft Quotes

The Confusion Of Love With Abuse Is What Allows Abusers Who Kill Their Partners To Make The Absurd Claim That They Were Driven By The Depths Of Their Loving Feelings. The News Media Regrettably Often Accept The Aggressors' View Of These Acts, Describing Them As "crimes Of Passion." But What Could More Thoroughly Prove That A Man Did Not Love His Partner? If A Mother Were To Kill One Of Her Children, Would We Ever Accept The Claim That She Did It Because She Was Overwhelmed By How Much She Cared? Not For An Instant. Nor Should We. Genuine Love Means Respecting The Humanity Of The Other Person, Wanting What Is Best For Him Or Her, And Supporting The Other Person's Self-esteem And Independence. This Kind Of Love Is Incompatible With Abuse And Coercion.
