..and got pissed off at Intervention

I watch this show called Intervention. Its a show o A&E

Here's a synopsis of the show according to the website:

Intervention™ is a powerful and gripping television series in which people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. The Intervention Television series profiles people whose dependence on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior has brought them to a point of personal crisis and estranged them from their friends and loved ones. Each Intervention episode ends with a surprise intervention that is staged by the family and friends of the alcohol or drug addict, and which is conducted by one of three Intervention specialists: Jeff VanVonderen, Candy Finnigan and Ken Seeley.

Its normally a great show. It shows all kinds of addicts-alcoholics,heroin addicts,sex addicts,food junkies.

But is beating yourself up really considered an addiction? I know people sometimes cut themselves anbd the pyshcial reaction sets off chemicals in the brain but is beating yourself up (literally) doing the same thing. What i noticed about this woman is that her huisbands' negative comments were the thing thats set her off.

Wait a goddamned minute.

If your man treats you like shit so much so that you need to punch yourself in the stomach- you kick your man to the curb. No person should be verbally abusive to another person-let along in a relationship.

Perhaps she was weak willed?

Perhaps the producers of "Intervention" should have sent her to therapy for her self esteem rather then for the hitting action. She relapsed a week after leaving treatment BUT she left her husband.

Basically- that was one weak ass episode.
