Domestic abuse advice

Once an ex-husband shows up at his ex-wife's house with a gun. She and
her mother were shot at as they ran across the street. Her mother was
killed in the street while the ex-wife reached a neighbor to call for
help.

A while ago a woman who had a restraining order against her husband and
fighting a custody battle with him at the same time shot her sons her
ex-husband was the father of and kills herself. Her daughter coming home
with a friend finds the bodies and hysterically runs to the neighbors to
call for help. That girl and her brother are in the care of relatives.
People who knew the mother agree that she just snapped under the stress
of fighting her abusive ex-husband.

Next a woman slams into a tree from her boyfriend hitting her car. She
later dies of her injuries. People described the couple teens in love.

Now more recently an estranged husband hits his wife's minivan and
shoots her, their son, and a man in the van. Amazingly they all survive
being shot in the head and the wife called for help on her cell phone.

Even more recently a man plots to kidnap his girlfriend to scare her,
but hires an accomplice who happens to be an undercover cop. He said he
got the idea from Dr. Phil who said some people need a good scare to
snap them out of their delusions. I don't think he meant kidnapping a
lover who leaves you.

Now a news station feels the need to display advice if you are in an
abusive relationship. An expert said abuse is a learned behavior and
leaving the abuser actually makes the abused more vunerable to attack.
So what does one do in an abusive relationship? The abused must realize
the abuse is not their fault. That's it? That's the advice. Any thoughts
on the subject. I feel more domestic fights are played out in public,
sometimes in front of an audience. Post later. Bye!
