“They are charming .. funny, gregarious, shy, high-strung. Good-looking or not, well-dressed or not. They are Everyman. One of the hallmarks of domestic violence is this false idea that abusers are somehow angry generally; rather, their anger is targeted-at a partner or at the partner's immediate family. As a result, friends and acquaintances of abusers are often surprised to hear that they committed an assault.”

“Love is what makes domestic violence different from any other crime. That the people involved have said to each other and to the world, You are the most important person to me. And then, in an instant, for that relationship to become lethal? It requires us to mentally, intellectually, and emotionally hurdle beyond what we can imagine.”
