It can happen to you It can happen in any family.

The conversation occured in the confines of the Jail where we live. It began by her coming out of the jail cell into the visitation area where we met through a few inches of plexi glass. When she came closer to the window she began to cry very hard. It was hard because I know she is hurting and I could not touch her or speak to her like I would normally do. we sat… Continue

HOW ALCHOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE FESTER RELATIONSHIPS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Amazing enough I thought we had moved to a quiet place where I could actually get some peace and serenity, little did I know that was far from the truth. I have a daughter that does not seem to learn lessons and continues to repeat her actions.

My oldest son came over today, last night at the apartment complex where he lives, his sister lives, her fiance lives, their children live, there was a royal crazy outburst of violence after several people… Continue

"FEMALES & GUNS", A part of Myths=Excuses / Facts=Reality





Even though I have shot guns since I was in junior high school, had a concealed carry permit in my lifetime and I support the Right To Bear Arms; I do not support the myth, "I own a gun and that is the best possible method of self-defense. If someone attacks me, I can use it to protect myself."



Let's take a look at why not......the facts/reality of such myth. First, I say congratulations! I have heard this comment from females… Continue

The Power of Fear

The Power of Fear



Where is all of the violence coming from in our world? Is it the powerful exhibiting their strength to the powerless? Is it the strong preying on the weak? Those are parts of the problem, but it’s usually someone trying to prove a point to themselves and they try to force their belief on the person being violated. The main ingredient of violence is usually the fear that is inside of the person being violent.



* When a person is free of fear they don’t feel… Continue

Their intent is not to inflict pain, but to cause fear and intimidation in order to gain and maintain power and control over their partners.



Batterers abuse their partners because they choose to do so. Outside circumstances (stress, alcohol,… Continue

Warning Signs, Red Flags, Gut Instincts, Intuition

There is an ugly twist to what is alreayd a terrible tragedy.

Today I got a letter in the mail from the Department of Corrections. It was so that I could join the Victims Services Program.

So I had to relive the horrible thoughts after this terrible tragedy that you will read about. I was that witness who called 911 and I was the one who remained silent except for at… Continue
