And yet: almost nobody knows their names.

In our neighborhood, a woman’s boyfriend shot her in the head; her 12-year-old daughter was found pressing her hand against the wound to stem the bleeding—all simply because the woman no longer wanted to be with the man.

Right but no one is celebrating and cheering for those men. Are you really this dumb?

The difference is, there was not a large group of men in blue shirts arguing that they were innocent.

Because it's not being celebrated.... When you see men celebrate or defend that behaviour, you have our permission to call them out 👍

Ill share this post to help spread awareness. This is far too common.

The most dangerous time for a woman is after she tries to leave a relationship... You cant announce youre leaving, Ive learned. You have to plan, save money, then leave silently so youre safe. Some exit plans take months or years, but if youre in immediate danger, go to a shelter.

bet they all will be in prison too just like lindsay clancy should be

My friends have been physically touched by their maternal uncle—that is, their mother's brother.

because nobody did a fund raiser for them

I am married to an honorable man, and I thank God for that. We both agreed not to have children—not for financial reasons, but out of love for the children we do not have.

My cousin was stabbed to death by her maternal uncle because she refused to marry the man she had been forced to accept; her uncle had loved her dearly—but to what avail?

my uncles married people chosen for them by others, and none of them feel happy with their wives. They have remained optimistic and love their children and grandchildren, yet some of the younger generation in the family have ended up in the same situation.
