Liberation

This site is being built to hopefully make people more away of Domestic Violence. And mainly I hope to let women know they are not alone.
I had very different emotions while thinking of building this site, mainly because I personally went through childhood with an abusive father, he never touched me, but he hurt my mum a lot. I am 40 years old and I can still to this day hear her begging and crying.
I, rightly or wrongly I don't know, but I tend to think of the children. They aren't given the choice of whether to stay or go.
I also know that any woman with children, living in an abusive marriage/ relationship, WILL have her children taken away. Yes some do get them back, but are you willing to take that risk??
So I am hoping that knowing more about Domestic Violence, will help us ALL understand the pain and fear it does to everyone.
Theres one thing that always sticks in my mind, my mum told me this aged 8 when she finally left him. "There is no such thing as can't " Think about it, she's right there isn't.
