Growing up with Domestic Violence

Domestic violence remains one of the most misunderstood health problems facing us today. The cloak of silence that drapes the shoulders of the women who endure abuse is heavy, the weave of the fabric is made from shame, fear, and severe isolation. If the women have children, they too are victimized.

Help put an end to generations of violence against women. Participate in awareness campaigns, educate our young, share your story. It all helps.

Thank you Patrick Stewart for sharing your personal story about growing up with a violent father. As you so adeptly write in your article, the legacy of domestic violence:

“Most people find the idea of violence against women – and sometimes, though rarely, against men – abhorrent, but do nothing to challenge it. More women and children, just like my mother and me, will continue to experience domestic violence unless we all speak out against it.” -Patrick Stewart
