    Domestic violence has always disgusted me. Most men who commit such shameful acts would not dare fight another man.

    Another myth is that it is only, or even mostly female victims. Yet, that is what the media perpetuates. Of interest, the pitcher for the Anaheim Angels was battered by his wife, while they were driving, just prior to the Chris Brown case, yet it received no media attention. His now ex-wife is a major fashion model. All she got was two years probation.

    Scary stuff. Although not physical, I must admit that I dished out verbal abuse. I am now on medication that controls it. I wish that I would have been diagnosed earlier with Bipolar and been put on the correct medication before the age of 33. I am a different person now. However I do feel for the abuser in the respect that they may have a chemical imbalance in their brain which has not been diagnosed or medicated. I know for a fact that I could not control my verbal abuse, it was like a reflex, impossible to stop. However with medication, I am in total control. Life changing control.

    Thought-provoking lens - as a society, we must find a way to imbue our children with the tenet of zero tolerance to domestic violence. Children exposed to DV are more likely to be perpetrators when they become adults. This generational vicious cycle has to be permanently broken.
