It could not have been easy to write about, but I can share your emotions and understand the importance of raising awareness of domestic violence. My father was a violent drunk and most of the first eighteen years of my life were spent living in fear and the rest have been spent breaking the cycle of violence in my family, my relationships, and in the world.
