i keep trying to get that point "it never gets better" across to my fifteen year old sister.
Her seventeen year old boyfriend was raised in a household where physical as well as mental/verbal abuse was fairly prevalent, so to him it's perfectly natural to berate and yell at her.
Mind you, she's a mean little shit herself...i've seen her bring him to tears with a few well placed words. But i am from a school of thought that men should never place their hands on a woman. Unless it's a matter of life and death.
i'm going to email those links my little sister with hopes she takes it seriously.
As for her boyfriend, the day he turns eighteen, i have a big suprise in store for him. Seriously.
Thanks EPS for posting this.
