In my experience, when there's abuse, it often goes both ways. I sometimes have a hard time finding a victim, sometimes it's really easy to find the victim. Sometimes, it's two a-holes who deserve each other.

I prosecute domestic violence cases. It is one of the hardest things I do because sometimes I can't tell which spouse is the (bigger?) problem. I also feel like I'm being intrusive into what is a private and difficult moment for them.

Hugs to all out there who have experienced this, and if you are currently experiencing it, think about getting out, please.
