That sounded heartless. Emotional battery requires more than kleenex. I have heard, can't document it, that in the U.S. domestic violence that ends up in er is same for men and women. No sources. Perhaps someone can provide actual statistics.

It seems we need new laws. Perhaps the second time police are called the domestic arrangement should change for a specific amount of time.Like you can not live together, especially if there are children in the home. Goes double if any public housing or public funds are involved. No.. same for everyone....mg
