Given it's waaaaaaaaay downnnnn there, please pardon my shameless note calling attention to it... but I've posted a reminder on domestic violence within our community in the health section. The posting explains, but... the person who so consented to it's usage would love feedback on the ad. I will also go back and post a link to the overall ad campaign if anyone wishes to see it.
Of all pairings, the dyke community has the lowest incidence of this nastiness, but... it does happen, and so a little reminder is always a good thing.
There's the wind and the rain
And the mercy of the fallen
Who say hey it's not my place to know what's right
There's the weak and the strong
And the many stars that guide us
We have some of them inside us
Mercy of the Fallen

Thanks for that note Nelle, I know that it does exist. The fortunate thing is I was spared any incident of it in my home. Coming from an abusive home myself, I know that it is a cycle that can be repeated.
Thanks!
Hugs!

Thanks for posting Nelle. And, it's also important to remember that domestic violence does not just include physical abuse. It also includes verbal abuse, vandalism of the residence (punching walls, throwing things). any kind of rage expressed in the relationship.
