I grew up with an extremely abusive father. As a mother, I wanted to protect my own children from exposure to violence. When I found out one of my daughters was in an abusive relationship, it broke my heart. Finally, she left him ?- but only after his abuse started spreading to the children.

The women who pass away before they receive Social Security, for them this is nothing but a tax from which they or their family will never receive a benefit.
