Domestic violence awareness month gives us an open opportunity to talk about the issue of relationship violence in our community.
This is the time to learn about a resource for someone who might need that information one day. It is a time to learn more about a crime that either kills or seriously injures thousands of women and children in our country each year.
Domestic violence, relationship violence, family violence; are all avoidable. You can make a choice not to abuse, you can make a choice to not continue to live with abuse.
You can choose to save your life and the life of your child. Choose not to be humiliated by someone who claims they love you; and are treating you this way for your own good!
There is nothing good about abuse in a relationship, any type of abuse; physical, verbal, child abuse, emotional abuse, sexual, financial, LGBT abuse.......sadly the list can go on and on.
Domestic abuse is the most under reported crime in America, and with more resources available for victims than ever before, there are more reported cases of abuse than ever before in the history of our country.
But we can stop domestic violence it if we take a stand; say enough NO MORE ABUSE--please don't look away when you know someone is being abused. Let's make a choice to stop domestic violence.
Please visit our website and read more about how to help someone you know who is being abused.....www.inamaegreene.org--because the road to safety should not be a dead-end!
