It is easy to imagine ourselves in situations and give idealistic solutions freely without actually experiencing something. Acting as human behaviour overlords without being in the situation comes easy to many of us. It requires no strength, courage or support, just words and assumptions. Many times over, these words do much more harm than good.
I write from experience when I say domestic violence is a complex social issue. I observed it throughout my childhood and for part of my early teenaged life. During those times I would wonder why my mom just wouldn’t leave.
