Valentine’s Day is coming and I am reminded of my abusive ex. He once sent me roses. We had been together for about a year and he was ramping up the Domestic Violence. People often ask me, “how did this happen to you?”. Well, let me tell you Domestic Violence does not care about your education, status, gender, age, or location. In the US, 1-in-3 women will experience violence at the hands of an intimate partner.
