August 6, 2018 ~ pjlambert ~ Leave a comment

It seems like the isolation part of domestic abuse happens very gradually.

You do it to … Continue reading DV – Part III – Isolation

DV – Part III – Financial Abuse

May 10, 2018May 12, 2018 ~ pjlambert ~ Leave a comment

There are fewer things nearer or dearer to an abuser’s heart than money.

Domestic Abuse – Part I

February 11, 2018February 24, 2018 ~ pjlambert ~ Leave a comment

Domestic abuse is running rampant in the world. And yet, people still don’t want to talk about it. Perhaps it’s because those outside the relationship think it’s none of their business what goes on in another’s relationship. And to a certain extent they are right.
