Domestic violence survivors share their stories to help others with their words.
We understand the challenge of domestic violence, but many of us often wonder about what goes into these relationships. What leads to a relationship turning violent? Why is it so difficult for the victim to leave? Did the victim ever have a chance to get out? What leads someone to become violent? This week, two victims comes forward to share their stories. We are allowing both to be anonymous to protect their safety. Their words might be a help to others who are dealing with domestic violence.
