They both survived violent ex spouses. The article frightens me, how fighting for survival the wife ends up in prison. My wife and I have regular discussions with my son and daughter about behavior in relationships. I hope it all sinks in. Only time will tell.

Thanks to support my sisters got through their ordeals. I can't imagine any support if you're in jail as isolated as you were in the marriage.
