30. What's your advice?

If a woman has an abusive ex or significant other that has threatened her repeatedly?

Another restraining order or two? Move and change her name? Call 911? Have the cops talk to him again?

What's your recommendation as a last resort when everything else you've tried has failed?

That's not a philosophical argument. Look up Ronyale White in Chicago. She did everything she was supposed to do and the police have a great 911 recording of her three calls and her ex husband kicking in her front door, then her bedroom door, then her bathroom door and killing her while she waited 12 minutes for the cops.

Even a single shot shotgun in her hands might have saved her life.

Every month I have 2 or 3 women in my classes that have reached that point.

But I'm sure you're smarter and have a better solution for them than taking steps to being responsible for their own safety, right?
