When you're a two-time survivor of domestic violence, once at 8 y/o & again at 31 y/o, safety tends to be an issue. According to Mayor Buddy Dyer, domestic violence has been identified as a significant part of violence statistics in the city of Orlando, Florida. For example, the rise in overall violence, due to domestic violence, is evident in that every 1 in 3 homicides occurs behind closed doors. Last year, there were 18 domestic homicides in Orlando. So far this year, there have been a total of 20 domestic homicides already!
If you've been a victim of domestic violence, take a look the series of events that occurred. If you have not, please learn more about domestic violence. Share the signs and symptoms of domestic violence with your children, in order to protect them from it in the future.
If you're a victim of domestic violence or abuse now, please increase your chances of survival by reaching out for help. If you don't want to call for help from home, all you have to do is just walk away. Once you get somewhere safe, you can call 911 from there.
I did it and so can you.
