I (Beth) have spoken with so many women who are angry with Yahweh (God) for not stopping the abuse or for allowing it to happen. They can not understand why a loving God doesn’t stop abuse from happening. He gets blamed for the actions of humans. We get into why abuse is not the fault of Yahweh but of the hardness of  hearts.
