Peace in the home: A look at domestic violence and 'normative' abuse

It has never escaped me that AP Month falls on Domestic Violence Awareness Month every year, each October. Being a domestic violence survivor myself and now working in the field as an advocate, it is my sincere belief that how we raise our children can change the world, and if we go the extra mile, so to speak, to teach them healthy relationship and peaceful conflict resolution skills, that they will "pay it forward" with their life choices. They can at least change the legacy of their family tree, though I am far from giving up hope for the next generation with API's influence.
