Domestic Violence Page |
Smart, pretty, educated, religious, helpful, friendly, forgiving...
a woman like me. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian,
rich, poor, it doesn't matter.
You are NOT alone!
If you think about it, you know MANY women who are abused. WHAT CAN
YOU DO? Let them know you support them, and give them information I've
provided here. And if you see or hear (like in the apartment next to you)
a man screaming and yelling and/or a woman crying PLEASE CALL THE POLICE
EVERY TIME! You don't have to give your name, just the address of the apt
or house. Maybe she'll eventually get the message that domestic abuse is
wrong, and she will press charges. Personally, I can not tell you how
many times I needed intervention, but no one EVER called the police for
me. I needed your help so much. Maybe I could have been spared those
broken ribs, broken arm, all the tears, all the bruises, all the threats, the embarrassment,
maybe my dog wouldn't have gotten hit over and over again. He should be in
jail for attempted murder, kidnapping, assault, terroristic threats and more!!!!
I regret not pressing charges - he is free to hurt someone else now. I know it
isn't my fault, but I feel like it is my responsibility, because I didn't have the guts
to follow through.
Want to talk to someone now? Call 1-800-799-SAFE, or visit

*A woman is beaten every 15 seconds
*1 out of 3 women will be beaten in her lifetime
*An estimated 6 million women are repeatly abused in their own homes
each year.
*More of the visits by woman to the emergency medical services are
caused by battering than by automotive accidents, muggings and stranger
rapes combined!
*The number one cause of miscarriages and stillborns is from DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!
What if your neighbor/friend/cousin/brother/father kills the woman or
the kids and you had done NOTHING ever to help! CALL 9-1-1 PLEASE !!!
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS. A PERSON ACCUSED OF PAST BATTERING WILL ALWAYS SAY "SHE MADE ME DO IT."
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT A BATTERER WILL BEAT ANY PARTNER, IF SHE STAYS
LONG ENOUGH FOR THE PHYSICAL VIOLENCE TO BEGIN. Most women think it isn't a good enough reason
to leave because he intimidates, yells and threatens her. Many he "just" shoves her. Maybe they have
physical altercations and she fights back, and thinks that now, having defended herself, she is
the perpetrator...It is so sad. You always think it could be worse. Get out before he kills you.
He just might. And these guys have a penchant for killing in front of the children! They are sick.
They definitely don't LOVE you, and often don't even love the kids. They will USE the kids to get to you.
The children are scarred from seeing any type of domestic violence. The boys will beat their wifes,
and the girls will be beaten by their husbands. I GREW UP WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE! I thought
it was "normal" to be yelled at, threatened, hit and intimidated. Show your kids that it is
NOT NORMAL. DON'T LET THEM GROW UP TO BE ME.
