On Lock Down With An Abuser

In the United States alone an act of domestic violence occurs every 15 seconds. Domestic violence is rooted in the Abuser retaining power and control over the victim. The most vulnerable of the domestic violence victim population are children. With pressures mounting amid this pandemic, many parents are out of work and home with their children. This is the perfect storm for a surge in domestic violence. Some child victims rely on the shelter that a school provides. They feel protected even if only for 8 hours a day. The structure is a consistent solace that can keep them going. In poverty-stricken areas, school lunches are the only sustenance a child gets in a day. Now, this has all been taken.

How can we protect those children that live in a violent home during this time? Many organizations are on high alert and implementing strategies that will help children. Here is a list of organizations that can help.

For immediate help, contact local law enforcement agencies.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline via text or call at 1–800–799–7233.

Today you can stop it all and try to default to love. You can stop blaming others and take responsibility for your actions. Think about the people and situations that make you angry. Make a list of all the triggers you can think of. Identifying them will make it easier to avoid them.
