The only way to stop the circle of violence is to step out of it youOme.

I have worked with folks who are in this circle and chances are that some form of tragedy awaits. It is the nature of violence..it hurts,,,sometimes forever.

Please look at this long and hard and wonder what impact this will have on the children over time and what "blows" may be in the wings for them..If they become victimized,,they will carry these hurts forward...

I wish I could help with more than words...
