I want to take this time to thank everyone that is following my discussions on blogfrog and this blog.
Domestic Violence is a very important issue, not only with making others aware of it in one month span, out of the year, but all year long! This issue doesn't stop, just during the month of October...
With the holiday season fast approaching, Domestic Violence is on the rise, more so, than any other time reported, and especially more now, due to the economic situations. One, out of every three families, will be affected by domestic abuse! Staggering facts, but true ones indeed.
It affects children, teens and adults... What can you do, to help those who really need some help?
Social Services and you reporting it, is not the answer as they have their own hidden agenda's- the government? Forget it!! The answer is, family, friends and other people reaching out to help those who need a helping hand up and not just a hand out, will be the deciding factor in who survives and who doesn't!
We survivors, have been there, done that, don't want to go there ever again, and we want to help those who need our help!! Adopt a family and set the course for a more peaceful society... I'm a fighter- how about you?
You know, everyone assumes domestic violence is always men v.s. women, when in reality there's a staggering number of cases the other way around. I'd like to hear someone taking the other side and write about that and not just write about woman-beatings.
ReplyDeleteEdward- Thank you for your comment but, I must disagree with you via *everyone assumes," that domestic violence is always men vs. women. Yes, there are a staggering number of cases where the male counter-part is the victim- however, Domestic Violence is on the rise with both sexes, and the children are the ones who suffers the most. How can we help bring about a peaceful society if the violence continues in the homes? How can families stay together? I speak out against DV- no matter whether it had affected men or women- I advocate for bringing about awareness of this issue and in the process, try to help promote healthy relationships within the family units. No one needs to abuse or be abused! -S.L. Smith
