What a horrible story......it happens every day. 1 in 3 women are being abused. Until we are educated, it will never stop.

The cost to society is staggering also....court costs, jail, emergency room, shelters, lost wages, time off from work, school etc., etc........

If we don't teach our children respect, they will continue (when they are being abused at home) to repeat that recursive cycle....the "wheel of violence."

Unfortunately thousands of abused women are living in fear, silence and shame and don't know of the resources available, or they are too frightened to reach out.

Verbal abuse is literally....brainwashing. How horrifying is that! "Society asks the wrong question (why does she stay)...the proper question......why does he abuse?

Okay, off my soapbox (for now), LOL

Oh,,,p.s. Abuse (all abuse) is a CHOICE....if it were not the abuser would abuse EVERYONE that aggravates them. Instead, it is all done in silence behind closed doors.
