I did some research into domestic violence, and there were some stories that will stay me with forever.

I know victims of domestic abuse. I know what it takes for people to get out, and I also know why people stay. It's heartbreaking.

There was mental and physical abuse in my family.

I also had to work through the violation of my date rape, my unhealthy relationships with men, my anger toward the people involved in the scandal, and those who exploited me afterwards.

I know what it feels like to be a victim of domestic violence.

It would be a mind-boggling endeavor to try to identify each individual who claims to have been a survivor of victimization during this period of 24 years.

Even though many couples are choosing to marry later in life, our laws haven't been updated to address dating partner abuse.

We know of officers who develop inappropriate relationships with victims of domestic abuse. They have ignored their professional duty and their moral responsibility.

There were some tragic cases of women whose love was abused, who for a certain time procured important documents or information, not knowing who for, what service they worked for, and for a variety reasons got jailed, were tried and sentenced.

I believe that all the important people in my life prior to 1982 were victimized by my illness.
