The first part of this essay dealt with setting the stage, in a way, finding our home position. Let's take that groundwork and begin to look at what's hinted at in the second half of the title, Confronting Abuse. In our stressed, fight or flight states we jump right past the significant aspect of confrontation and assume fight or flight the only possible responses. Something, or somebody, is opposite us and seemingly blocking our way. Once we become transfixed within the narrow logic of power, there are no other options than to win or lose, kill or be killed. Justification rises in us and let the escalation begin!
