    I started seeing my husband when I was 18.  He was loud and rambunctious, but also very attractive, and I was completely enamored with him.  I admired him for his bold, brazen demeanor and his rugged good looks.  Mild flirting soon led to stolen kisses.  He was attentive, and made me feel like I...

I realized that when my daughter is mean to my son or belittles him, it activates in me the emotional reaction from all the years of my older sister and both of my brothers being mean, cruel, and insulting to me. My daughter is not nearly as rude or mean to my son as my siblings were to me, but what I react to is not what she’s doing; it’s what my siblings did to me.When it happens, I feel hate toward her because she is the present form of my sister…

    Rihanna did an interview on 20/20 this week about the abuse she suffered while being with Chris Brown. During this whole incident I have found a lot of things interesting that haven’t been addressed by the media. First, police have stated that there have been two incidents of abuse during the course of their relationship. In the first incident, they stated that Rihanna slapped him and he busted out a car window. The second was the most notarious event that has been in the news. What I found shocking was that the media used the first event as evidence that HE was abusive when it clearly…

    Why does a a person stay with someone who has repeatedly been violent towards them? Why does a person stay with a someone who is so temperamental, so argumentative that they are moved to act with extreme aggression towards them? Why does ‘love’ seem to hurt more than it heals?  Why is everyone acting like this is something new? These are the things I think about when faced with the media’s obsession with the events that transpired between Robin Fenty and Chris Brown the night of February 8, 2009. I have always believed that whatever happened in that car, they were both…

    As October comes to an end, Domestic Violence should be a daily awareness.

Victims are not getting the services they need, the very coalitions that are funded by the  Violence Against Women Act are only tools for training and printing informative pamphlets to be handed out during…

    SACRAMENTO, Calif.—The state Senate sent Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger a bill Wednesday restoring some of the money for domestic violence shelters in California after the governor eliminated their funding last summer. Schwarzenegger used his line-item veto authority in July to cut the entire $20.4 million allotted to the program as he cut nearly $500 million from the revised budget passed by the Legislature. The move forced six of the state’s 94 shelters to close and others to eliminate or reduce services. “The governor absolutely supports restoring money to that program and is…
