Worse Than Ever!

Worse Than Ever! - 07/10/10 11:46 PM

Reading an article this morning on Domestic Violence and it quoted that it is far worse than ever before. Due to financial conditions in the country, jobs, home forclosures, food and other constant expenses. Men are so frustrated and feel totally helpless and are hurting those they should be nurturing more than ever before. I see men wondering the street looking for even menial jobs of which there seem to be none. Vegas is hurt worse they say by unemployment and by the upswing in DM here it seems to be true. So sad...

I am not surprised.....yes, so sad.....1 in 3 women are abused and every 19 seconds a woman is assualted...those are global statistics.

1 of my granddaughters had been dating a guy that abused her.
To meet the boy, you'd think he was the sweetest kid in the world. When this young girl came home with bruises on her body,
nobody could believe he'd hit her like that. Honestly, you just
can't trust very many people these days!

I am glad she is no longer with him. It's not always easy to get away from an abusive man.

Anno,
Thank you. I'm glad they broke up, too. Some people are such
charlatons. They appear to be sweet and kind and gentle, while
they're actually underhanded and fake. I was shocked that this
young man was abusing one of my girls. Thank God she didn't
marry this dude! He's tall and cute and has a good job. Geese.
What a bummer!!!
