Something came across my desk recently which reminded me of this post I wrote four years ago. I thought it worth a repeat. I have reblogged it (rather than cut and paste) as the comments resonate too.

Wow, that is a powerful essay! Thanks for being a voice for those that need it!
Thank you Luanne. It was an accidental outcome of I Belong to No One.
I imagine so!
It is unbelievable that strong advocates such as yourself are still having to repeatedly explain how women (and it is mostly women) find themselves in abusive relationships. I think there is a move towards educating boys and girls about domestic violence in schools here in UK. It would be a start.
They talk about it here, but I haven’t heard of much progress.
That’s very disappointing.
An important post, Gwen.
Thank you Don
A most powerful post with sound insights, Gwen
Thank you, Derrick

I couldn’t read all their stories. It is just so heart-wrenching.
