However, I know it isn't like that for everyone. I've seen some women on here talk about how shabbily they were treated by the law (like that first woman at the court house). It makes it that much harder to come forward. You are ashamed enough to be in that situation where you let someone use you and then to have people look at you like you are scum makes it worse. After the way that woman treated me at the court house. When she wouldn't answer my questions and she talked to me like I was stupid...I don't know if I would have gone back to the court house and followed through if the police hadn't come back and if my mother hadn't made me. I think some officers and other officials need some sensitivity training. I used to say it...why would she let him do that? It's partly her fault for staying. But, it's so much more complicated than that. I know that now. I've had my sensitivity training. Police and judges need to have the same thing. Sorry for rambling.

Jen, you're absolutely right about officers sometimes not knowing what to do or how to act in regards to DV.
