Domestic Violence is so very hard to speak about . . .

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence is not a temporary loss of temper

It is not about a partner's anger-

It is about people who when trying to gain power
or seeking control in a relationship-act in ways
that are not appropriate, illegal, and often dangerous.

Being hit or slapped is never minor.

Being intimidated or coerced is not part of being loved.

I see now I was trying to change my abusive husband, motivated by a strong desire to help, and understandably reluctant to accept failure on the marriage vows taken.
