Are you being abused? Perhaps you know someone in a violent relationship? Do you suspect that a friend, relative, or someone you know is being abused? Have you witnessed someone being abused but walked away not knowing what you could do? If so, PLEASE read this section and then go back and offer your help. Your help just might save someone's life!!

This Domestic Violence section of this website is very important.  It is geared toward women because the majority of domestic violence is perpetrated against women. However, it is just as important to emphasize that violence occurs to others as well, and is equally unacceptable. This is no longer a silent problem, kept hidden behind closed doors. This is a very real and very dangerous problem that plagues this country and must be addressed more seriously than it has in the past. People are finally taking notice of its severity. I urge you all to do the same.

If you are a victim, get help!  If you feel like your home may some day become your tomb, you need to get out as soon as possible.  You no longer have to endure the pain and suffering.  There are many organizations that can help you. PEOPLE DO CARE!! Regardless of what you have been told you have rights and so do your children and something can be done to stop the cycle and prevent the abuse from reoccurring.
