Review: Takes me back
Rating: 4 out of 5

Being a survivor of domestic violence this story took me back to those days, the actions by myself and my abuser and how my kids felt once I finally left.  It takes a lot for a victim to leave and they will leave several times before they leave for good.  I have to admit that some of the writing drove me crazy and I really wanted to smack the "friend" who said she wasn't going to help anymore, unless the victim left for good.  It did leave me wondering at the end concerning what happened after the abuser was released.This story had to have been written a while ago though because now the police, judges and social workers almost always listen to the victim and there is normally an intense home study before visitation will be continued after an accusation of mistreatment for the kids during a visit.
