What can we do about it?
Those who read this blog because they are recovering from abuse can share their story with others. You don't have to say much. Just acknowledging that you are a former victim will have an impact. Over the years women and men have approached me after church, outside my children's school, and after writing meetings to discuss their personal abuse situations. You don't have to be an expert to help by sharing your heart, any wisdom you've gained, and any hope that has carried you through to where you are today.
As a survivor you can also be prepared. You can have your local shelter's phone number and the national domestic violence hotline phone number (1-800-799-SAFE/7233) handy on your refrigerator and in your wallet to share with others.
If you are able, consider giving donations of time, clothing, or money to your local domestic violence shelter.
Each of us can make a difference.

Tanya, good job on your site and in this article. Jesus IS The Great Physician! I love the title (and design) of your blog. It's very creative, and it drives home your point very adeptly. God bless you, honey.
