If what’s being reported is true, this is just sad.
From PEOPLE:
Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the “Umbrella” singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE.
“They’re together again. They care for each other,” says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s homes.
Adds the source: “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”
In its latest issue, PEOPLE reports that Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. “He called to wish her happy birthday,” a source told the magazine. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.”
Brown was booked by LAPD for making criminal threats but the case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney, who will ultimately determine which charges, if any, will be prosecuted.
This is not going to end well, mark my words.
The goal of an abuser is control. They want you to behave only in the ways in which they want you to behave. They achieve this control with abuse…
The abuse and your failed efforts to stop it, erode your self-confidence, devastate your self-esteem and destroy your sense of self-worth. You become fearful, insecure and dependent. Everything in your life eventually revolves around your abuser, their moods and their needs. You become a non-person, and as such, you are reduced to existing as your abuser’s “possession.”
…This insidious repetitious cycle will break you so smoothly, there’s an excellent chance you won’t even realize you’ve lost yourself. For some people it may take years… but it will break you.
Each time you take a spin on the Cycle of Abuse you lose a little piece of yourself. You never quite make it back up to your top again. Oh I know, you may think and believe you have… but you haven’t. Every cycle of abuse takes you lower and lower and lower until one day, there is nothing left of you. You just don’t recover. Look closely at yourself and your life feel your feelings… listen to your own heart… reach into your spirit.

I don’t understand if she is an idiot or just a child. In both cases she would need someone to tell her what to do. This whole story is a bad bad example for girls and boys all over the world. She is telling the world: “well ok, he has been rude to me but I love him, I cannot have a life without him, I’m JUST a girl”. He is telling: “I am cool, aren’t I? I have just beaten a girl and she still is crazy about me. That is what a real man is”…They would both need googd parents, a normal job, a normal salary. They wouldn’t behave in such an idiotic way.
This shows such a poor example for everyone, especially the “younger” crowd who may look to Rihanna and Chris as role models. (Yuck!) I guess parents no longer hold that position…
IF Rihanna and Chris have gotten back together again, I’m hoping Rhianna is doing it so she can get some “dirt” on that bad boy, so she can help him get the consequences of his actions. There is a saying that good girls always go for the bad boys. Why is that???
I don’t doubt that they care for one another and that has got to be hard, matters of the heart and all. Once an abuser is always an abuser. I guess Rihanna doesn’t know that yet, if ever. I wish them both the best of luck in getting their lives onto a healthy track (professional counseling isn’t such a bad idea.)
