Think you can't get away? What is the price of staying?

Witnessing violence between one’s parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.

Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.

30% to 60% of perpetrators of intimate partner violence also abuse children in the household

It is not an easy thing to leave.  If you know someone who claims abuse. Believe them. You may be the only person they tell.
