Introduction
They have often had big fights where they had to defend their own self-worth, independence and love. Their parents can be terrible, trying to dominate and suppress them or their husband can try do that later on too. But they do not give in, they keep on fighting. The strange thing is that they often stay in situations where they are abused and criticised. They often feel they are the stronger one who has to keep on taking care of the other. Or they keep hoping for improvement, seeing the good side in all people. They cannot understand that people behave badly, always think that all people are very humane like and controlling their bestiality.
