Domestic violence affects at least one person directly connected to you

So many people speak negatively of the victim of domestic abuse and violence. This causes many victims to suffer in silence. Society has been trained to point the finger at and look for reasons why the victim "brought the violence upon themselves". There is no such thing! Abusers abuse others for many reasons and the most common being their own self inadequacy. That's very unfortunate. You can't love another person, if you don't first love yourself. Always remember that no one chooses to be a victim. It's just the cards that were dealt to them. Everyone deals and copes in their own way.
