Re: It's not always easy
Domestic violence is a serious and complex problem.
It is about domination and control of one human being by another.
It is often generational.
Domestic violence causes almost as many deaths as gang violence in the US.
There is no easy answer.
The woman has to gain the confidence in herself to break the cycle of violence. This usually requires a lot of support from family and friends. Unfortunately, it also often results in additional violence on the part of the man.
Usually the man blames the woman for "pushing" him to violence. Sadly, the woman commonly also blames herself for the violence unleashed upon her. This is what makes it so difficult to deal with.
Here, there are battered women's shelters where counseling is available. Violence should never go unreported.
