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.

Considering that it is my goal, after law school, to prosecute domestic violence cases, I wondered about the toll it takes on the attorneys and other workers involved. Thanks for your insight.

And hugs to both Honey and IrishLake, I'm so glad that you are both in better places now!
