October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Unfortunately, domestic violence has also affected many of our families, if not some of us personally on this board. Again, I have an aunt and a cousin who have suffered at the hands of insecure and downright cruel men! If only everyone could truly appreciate that "hands are for helping, not for hurting"...

Kudos for reminding us that October is
also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. You are so right! Domestic violence affects all sorts of people from all walks of life. And it is not just a
male-against-female act. I cannot stress this enough! Women abuse women, and men abuse men. Domestic violence is one of the issues I am
most passionate about! It is saddening, frustrating, maddening to know just how
common abuse is.
Peace Love and Progression
