Domestic Violence and the Sad Truth

To be concise, domestic violence can have very distrubing and detrimental effects on innocent victims. A multidude of effects inflicted by the abuser can occur such as harsh bruises, anxienty, fatigue and rapid fast changes in sleeping and eating habits. If the victim is not treated in a timely manner it can often lead to major depression, low self esteem, post traumatic stress, and sadly even suicidal thoughts. Domestic violence is not a joke and whether it be a father, uncle, husband , girlfriend or someone else you hold close it is unacceptable and should not be taken lightly. If you are a witness or a victim to domestic violence I strongly encourage you to speak up because you can make the difference between a life saved and a life lost.
