Domestic Violence - not an archaic caveman thought still

While domestic violence was probably very prevalient during the caveman days (and not talked about too much), it is still a heated topic by many today.

I answer hotline calls, work at a DVSA (domestic violence/sexual assault) shelter, and call victims back from the police department. It is remarkable how significant that this crime still exists today -- no matter how hard we try to prevent it from occurring.

I am still, though, encouraged to continue trying because it is that one person who will restate things that they have heard back to you -- much of it from the stats and information we try to get out to the general public about the significance of DV crimes today. It brings a smile to me in hearing them repeat some of the things that we have been saying out there because, at least, I know that they are listening to the words -- even if they haven't taken action upon it.

One step at a time!!!
