It was about domestic violence, a woman who had gotten shot in the face by her boyfriend and survived.

WOW Oprah was very good today!! The part that got me, well 2 parts actually, was toward the end. Oprah asked the girl if there were any early warning signs that he would get dangerous. She said that in the beginning of the relationship, he would get extemly jealous over her friends. He would tell her what type of clothes to wear and when she could go out. She said she thought it was because he loved her, and because he was jealous of her that it must have ment she was beautiful. Funny how things can start out small and not seem like much, but escalate to the point of feeling theres no way out. The other part that got to me was at the very end Oprah said that God will wisper to you. AND that when something like that happens its God yelling at you. And most of the time once a battered woman leaves a dangerous situation she can look back and see where God was trying to wisper to her and tell her what needed to be done. And that we all need to listen to what God is trying to wisper to us. That hit me hard....

It's devastating what he did to her mother.
