  • Domestic violence articles to help you better understand the problem in Iowa:  

    To truly understand just what domestic violence is, we must also understand the abusers.  As with their victims, individuals who batter fall into no specific categories. They come from all class backgrounds, races, religions and walks of life. 

    Domestic violence is at epidemic levels in the United States and probably the best thing any of us can do to stop the violence is to learn about it and get involved. 
    We aren't stopping domestic violence because we are throwing money at the problem and not the solution. 
     

    Domestic violence affects every aspect of daily living and it is the duty of every member of a free society to learn the truth and dispel all the myths surrounding the domestic violence problem.

    As each one of us walks life's road, we must understand that each spiritual journey will be different. Our spiritual life can be as unique as our fingerprints. It is a mistake to judge another person's path against your own. In order for us to become what we want to be, we must learn to accept ourselves at the very place in life where we are right now.
