A personal story I have heard about domestic violence.
My aunt is a pastor and she moved to a small town in Iowa where a name gets you power. There was a man, whose father basically ran the city through a committee, who verbally and sexually abused his wife and she went to get support from my aunt. My aunt encouraged her to stick up for herself and get a divorce if necessary. This lady followed my aunt's advice and tried to file a divorce and that man's father started spreading rumors about my aunt (devil, cult leader, etc), has threatened her physically many times, and through his power basically ran my aunt out of town and prevented her from getting a job anywhere near that place so she had to move back to Chicago.
In the end, that lady did file a divorce and moved in with my aunt until she could get back on her feet. I don't know what has happened since then, nothing too bad since I haven't heard about it.
I also hate domestic violence and think it is one of the most pathetic things anyone can do.
