Welcome!

Two special thoughts for the day...

This article is simply my rumination on the women I’ve dealt with, DV survivors, and the people around them. This one is a little different – just me spouting off my own views, rather than researching safety issues or psychological issues or whatever. Some will like it, some will hate it. It’s all about what a woman is worth.

And second, what does the Joe Paterno scandal have to do with domestic violence? This article in the Baltimore Sun describes Maryland's efforts to tighten child-abuse rules after the child molesting scandal that brought down Penn State coach Joe Paterno, so that folks like cops and doctors can be punished if they don't report suspected child abuse. Wouldn’t it be great if spousal abuse was included too? Domestic abuse injures ten thousand women a day and kills more than a thousand every year, so it’s a genuine health epidemic, right? Food for thought. Anyway...
