Comment by Helena Sousa on September 6, 2008 at 12:40pm: Domestic violence concern women,men ,elder and child.
Victims have fear and shame to talk about. Sensivitie and trauma exist for ever. Indiference to this problem is the big one.Indeed peace begin at home. We say that a abused child will be a abuser adult... And abusers , abuse everyone, including animals.
I create a group outside my work with people with many problems, and they have all support i can do.
