Chris Brown and recent arrest....hiding in rehab!

I have been waiting to blog about Chris Brown's recent arrest for assault and his sad attempt to avoid prison by entering a rehab facility. The reality is that Chris Brown is a very troubled person with more than an anger problem. It is obvious that he is a very abusive person and has problems with power and control. Being abusive is a learned behavior so he learned it from someone close to him. The only way to unlearn it is if you seek intensive behavioral therapy and be educated on power and control. Being abusive is like riding a bike once you learn how you will never forget it. Some abusers that seek treatment do so because they are forced to by the justice system. The only success they will have is learning how to MAYBE control outbursts or not have so many of them. Chris Brown is not being held accountable which is another reason abusers continue to abuse. He mocks us by not completing community service from his incident with Rihanna and violates probation by assaulting someone else. If I was his mother, I would be ashamed and disgusted, not supportive. Chris Brown needs to man-up, accept responsibility and not hide in rehab, which by the way will not work unless they are addressing power and control education. As a consumer, I will not buy his music, listen to it or promote it. I have seen too many young men like him as an advocate and the damage they do to women and others is far worse than the beat down they get. Chris Brown is a vile person and he is what we call in advocacy, a lost cause. Read about his arrest....

The truth about hookup culture ;)

  As of 2022, The Pew Research Center found 30% of U.S. adults are neither married, living with a partner, nor engaged in a committed relationship. Additionally, 1/2 of young adults inthe U.S. are single. What the?! Why be in a relationship when you can, “hookup” with no expectations.Let's talk about hookup culture! What is hookup culture? Is this a healthy dynamic? Why is hookup culture popular in today's society? Are there negative effects engaging in this behavior; Does this behavior negatively impact women? My original intention was to answer these questions, in an effort to talk about hookup culture as part of a series of educational videos/posts during Domestic Violence Awareness month to raise awareness about healthy relationships but, time ran out. However, we can still have an honest discussion  and continue the conversations about our current relationship climate that will help us understand the current trend of , "hooking up." I decided to talk about this t
