The Letter

News that a young mother and her daughter died at the hands of someone who took an oath to "Serve and Protect" was disheartening. After discussing the story at work an article was brought to my attention by one my coworkers. The article discusses a letter that was sent to a reporter at the WASHINGTON POST by Theresa Evans. At the time the letter was written Ms. Evans feared for her life and reached out for help.

I wanted to share it on the blog because I saw it as an act of bravery. Ms. Evans revealed to the world that she was in an abusive relationship and she believed that her ex-husband would ultimately kill her. I tried to write a little paragraph to lighten the mood, but I failed at every attempt. I didn't want to be cheesy or overly happy about the situation when there is nothing funny about Domestic Violence or Death. However, I still wanted to share her story.

Please take a moment to read the article and pass it along. It may help someone who is in a similar situation. The goal is to reach out and support those in abusive relationships. The victims should not be judged or blamed. Help stop the cycle of violence.
