Once, a neighbor often had black eyes and bruises and for awhile I thought that was what it was. But she suffers from alcoholism and other pill dependency and would pass out cold and hurt herself.
Both are so awful. You don't know what to think or to do to help.
I admit I am skeptical about the figure of a round 3000 women from The Villages suffering from domestic abuse in the last five years. Do you suppose they meant 300 and it was a typo. I know someone who probably knows who was in social work and I hope she chimes in.
