Video Domestic violence. Behind closed doors it secretly bruises the lives of nearly four million wives and children, relatives and friends each year.
Studies show that violence occurs at least once in two-thirds of all marriages.
Finally, many children who are abused, or who witness abuse of their mothers, grow up to become abusive themselves or become victims of domestic violence again. And the circle continues. Domestic violence can shatter a life as suddenly as a car wreck. Or it can slowly erode physical and emotional well-being with the deadly persistence of a chronic heart condition. But whatever form domestic violence takes, we all know the ultimate result.
