There is a lot of information about domestic violence out there, and you've provided even more. If only some people were willing to access it using the effort they spend loudly farting out whatever misconstrued, microscopic bits and pieces of the vastly larger picture that their tiny, underutilized minds seem incapable of grasping. Enough is enough. Willfully and arrogantly stupid, selfish people are becoming unbearably tiresome. They're everywhere these days, though, and never miss a chance to take a large, smelly dump on the objects of their scorn, which is everything extending out from the tip of their own noses. Is it so hard to put oneself in another's shoes and STFU, because one will never know exactly what another person is going through?
