When you think of domestic violence, what usually comes to mind?
"Why did they stay? The signs were there, why didn't they just leave?" You'll hear about a
couple, their constant drama, the arguments, the fighting, the bruises, the police involvement,
the back and forth court appearances, and the restraining orders: It leaves a person to
question,"When will it end?" "Who's really at fault here? Who is the victim and who is the
villain? Whose side do you choose? Friends and family refuse to believe the characteristics of
the significant other because "they know their character best," as if you don't. However, this is
the perspective of outsiders looking in. We all know about the "Power & Control" wheel of
tactics abusers use. You hear about the "Cycle of Domestic Violence," from advocates, and
organizations. You watch the movies. You watch the news, and you hear the stories of domestic
violence occurring. You learn about the laws of the land from politicians that are there to create
the laws to protect victims in these situations, but is it really enough?
