Thank you for your comment. You are correct. Men are being abuse as well as women. However, it is harder for a woman that have children to get back on her feet. |

yes children are the main reason why a woman could stand abuse! you are right! |

I used to work at the DV shelter here in our town. I heard some pretty awful stories from some of these women, and sometimes from the kids, too. There is help out there for these victims of abuse...most areas do have shelters nowadays where they can go...IF they can get in. I know our local shelter is usually full to capacity--I think it can hold up to 40 people--and our area is actually semi-rural, not a big city. |

I really didn't know where the saying 'honeymoon period' came from! I didn't think it was linked to domestic violence! That's shocking when you think how well known the saying is and how widely used it is! |
As bad as it still is there are more places for an abused person to turn for help
No disrespect here as I know the figures are extremely high for women but men are also abused and the same applies to them.
