Quotes: "Abusers have a really good way to talk themselves out of bad situations". "We really tried to be supportive of him so he wouldn't be harsh on Jessica". "Only 50% of domestic violence is reported because most often women aren't believed or there's nowhere they can go, they become homeless". "The psychiatrist kept saying that we should abandon the kids to children services, that that would be their best chance for getting the proper services". "Community is key". "The simplest gestures go a long way". Domestic abuse is wrong at any level. I urge you to not cause it, and if you suffer it... Please take action and get help.
