DOMESTIC ABUSE

Having been involved in family law disputes for two decades,
I have seen the horror of domestic abuse, including a young
woman who was killed by her husband, one who was raped and
severely beaten, and countless others, including men, women,
children and seniors, who were otherwise abused physically,
emotionally or financially.

My daughter Grace McDermott made the below video for a
social media class at college.

It is a graphic reminder of the brutal reality of
domestic abuse. I am proud of her efforts to bring
continuing attention to this difficult problem.

It is a tough one to watch, but a great reminder that anyone
on the receiving end of abuse should get out and get help
before it goes terribly wrong.
