Answer: Voilence and abuse should never be accepted whether it's physical violence, emotional abuse, one should not tolerate the aggressive behavior. The abusive people are dangerous and harm others. They do not have feeling or emotions for the other person. The Rebeca is the victim of the domestic abuse, she should not tolerate this kind of situation.
There should not be any kind of abusive relationships, if the victim was a child then my feelings and concern will be more as child abuse, and violence let the bad impression on the child's mind. Child has a developing mind and at the age of growth and development if he tolerates the child abuse or violence then he will have many side effects of these situations.
Women should not tolerate any kind of abuse, if they do that means they are giving more opportunity to abusive people to dominate on women and destroy them emotionally. Physical harm can be healed but due to torture and abusive relation, women get emotionally weak which effects their confidence, self- esteem etc.
