- Linda's story demonstrates that domestic violence can affect any of us. A successful entrepreneur who owns a Manhattan clothing boutique, Linda was in an abusive relationship for 15 years until she finally broke free. “I want people to understand that there’s no typical face of domestic violence-people think it’s a problem that only affects lower-income and minority groups, but that's not true.” Help us share her story at #DVfree and visit urinyc.org to learn how you can support the campaign and get involved.
May God continue to bless you with courage Linda. Your story is closer to mine, than many I see on video with this group. I had the added challenge of dependence, as many survivors do, on this man for my vocation & income, The secret, eats away at me still. I have proper professional help to deal with it now. It has divided me from God, family & friends for far too long.
It's also to remember that men are the prime factors behind domestic violence. Teaching women to stand up to domestic violence, to get away from domestic violence, and help those that have experienced domestic violence is great. That being said, more should be focused on then men of society to value women more, and teaching them to be less aggressive toward women, because if that is accomplished, domestic violence would drop severely.
