I agree and have read many books on the subject of domestic violence. Notably absent from these survivor stories is a true sense of remourse over the true victims of these stories, the children. Battered women do have choices, the children however, do not. I know that in some situations, to leave is to risk death, but the perpetual and societal "victimization" of women in these situations, ignores the true power that women have and the fact that their own choices led to their victimization and more importantly, that of their children. I have read your book, the true survivors are your children.
