When I was doing my DV research this popped up and i’m so glad! My first relationship was extremely abusive. It definitely shaped how I viewed men and relationships for the rest of my life. I recently made a video on the importance of parent involvement and the need for support. Thanks for sharing this I will share on my blog!
