Discomfort

Day 148: When You Suspect Spousal Abuse

NOTE: this post is formatted in bulletpoints because my mind is a mess and I don't feel at all comfortable with this topic.


  • I'm still...young. I'm not married, I'm not really close personal friends with married people who would disclose personal information to me rather than to my parents. 
  • I grew up going to shul often. Every toilet stall in the restrooms always had a sign that said "Most Jewish men don't hurt their wives. But some do."
  • Abuse is not just physical. It can be emotional or psychological or academic or economic etc. etc. etc. Signs are not always visible. We have to recognize the clues.
  • By recognizing clues, we may end up saving lives. If you need to ask questions, ask. If you need to talk to someone, talk. Get help, get them help.
