Domestic Violence
When hearing about cases of domestic violence some people are confused about the facts. domestic violence occurs among people of all races,
ages, religious, and
educational backgrounds. In the United States, a person is beaten by their partner every fifthteen seconds.Boys who witness domestic violence are twice
as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become
adults. (Strauss, Gelles, and Smith, “Physical Violence in American
Families: Risk Factors and Adaptations to Violence” in 8,145 Families.
Transaction Publishers 1990). These are just some facts .

Hello Lina,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you had to go through that. In my house it was a little different. My mom was good at making my dad feel like nothing. She had her own issues. I am happy to say over time she stopped doing that. Although when a child experiences something like that it stays with them a lifetime.
