Also, I believe it is extremely important for the families, especially the children, to have the supports they need to help prevent the violence continuing into future generations

I asked @Halifax public libraries to order your book and to add more resources about ipv/domestic violence

Thank you for your writing about this vital issue in our society

I was going to ask if the men are turning into animals, but I have too much respect for animals to make that comparison. Men are just feeling inadequate, so they take it out on somebody who’s biologically weaker than they are? Is that the idea??? (Hey, I guess that’s what patriarchy is all about.)

Played hockey in my youth in Cape Breton and campaigned there in 2019. Beautiful place but a little out of time. Like 50 years out of time…

Nary a peep because the victims are predominantly women. Courts and law enforcement are still a patriarchy.

As a person who was in an abusive marriage for 23 years and out for over 11. I can tell you it's the courts and police, RCMP who's the problem. We don't need funding. We need training for all of them. When I tried to leave I was told it was my fault by cops. They said I must have pushed his buttons.
