DCBeef:

Thanks for posting this. I've lost two sisters by domestic violence. One was murdered in 1990 and the other was murdered in 2007. Both at the hands of their significant other. I also had a sister die last May by suicide.

Domestic violence is an ugly tragic thing for anyone to deal with. I've had to much of it in my life. It really makes me appreciate the relationship I have with my husband Chato aka Mac. He has taught me to trust again and to enjoy life.

.... I am hoping that the run/walk works out as a tribute to Mary and helps someone else get out of a bad situation ... My Great Aunts daughter looked into it because her Mom was that way and she found out that my GREAT grandfather did it , my grandfather also and then my Dad ... it is a learned behavior that does unfortunately get pasted from one generation to the next ... but it is not something that know one talks about anymore and if it would have been brought out in the open sooner , maybe it would not be as bad as it is today .... I can't even begin to tell you how much it has helped me ... I know longer hate myself at times and really like who I am now ... Me and my x- Juanita were married for 23 years and most of the reason we are not together now is I changed and she didn't ... I could not move forward in the marriage ... Like I said it was the best thing I have done for myself and also my family ...... Take care .......

Remembering Mary DC. You are courageous to have faced up to your problem. I havent experienced any domestic abuse, just emotional and psychological abuse, many years ago.

... I was fortunate that the program was their to help me ... O.J. Simpson had a lot to do with putting this out in the open, for the change to start to happen ... That another reason for me to do this as Adrienne also was emotional abuse also ... Her x told her he would kill her animals if she had any contact with her family ... she never had children , so that was like threatening her kids , for that is what her pets were ... she left $20,000 for her cats to be taken care of after her death ... that how much her animals meant two her ... at the time of her marriage she had 2 dogs also ... Take care Robin , long time since we have connected ....

... Just to add this to your statement , any abuse is not acceptable , sometimes emotional or psychological abuse is worst then physical .....
