Too often, society blames victims of domestic violence for not leaving, rather than holding the abusers responsible. The reality is that financial dependency, concern for the children and the fear of being pursued or even killed can make the idea of escape seem impossible.

No one deserves to be abused. Everyone should have someone to turn to. Before OJ Simpson the police rarely responded to a domestic violence call, but today they will!

Make that call and get a restraining order against your abusive spouse!
