She is a survivor of domestic violence.  In her book, Blood Relatives: Breaking the Cycle; Breaking the Silence, Darlene opens a vein and bleeds her painful truth, which includes the turmoil and questions that would come in the aftermath of the violence inflicted upon a beloved cousin, aunt and younger sister.
