Abuse is wrong. It is horrible. And it happens in our community too, unfortunately. (All abuse is horrible; here we specifically talk about spousal, or domestic, abuse.)
Too often, members of the community unwittingly add to the suffering of the victims with judgment or distancing or siding with the abuser. Sometimes that happens because people simply don’t understand what abuse is and how they can be a support.
It could be your loved one, your friend, your neighbor, someone you sit next to in shul. And they can really use your support – if only you knew the situation and how to help them.

Adults talking to their kids or kids freinds can be very hurtful.
