This just makes it abundantly clear to me that there's a lack of knowledge in general about domestic violence. They ask her if he's ever been violent with her before, and she says no - that may or may not be true. That's not for us to decide. But what about all the rest of it? The controlling, the gaslighting, the…

I was thinking this morning about what the NFL could do to show their support of victims of domestic abuse, and I wonder if they could offer to pay for security for women who leave their abusers. We know that abused women are most at risk for being murdered by their spouses when they leave, and the NFL actually has…

I'm kinda struggling to understand how one goes from completely nonviolent straight to outright KOing your wife.

I didn't think it was completely wrong for me to apologize, because at the end of the day I got arrested, too, so I did something wrong, too.

It breaks my heart that she thinks that being arrested is proof of her wrongdoing, or of her being complicit in her own assault. That she thinks being "suggested" to apologize was justified by her being complicit. Janay, nothing you could have possibly done justifies your being knocked unconscious and dragged out of…

Janay grappled with what she will tell their daughter Rayven about the elevator incident and domestic violence, in general.

Jesus H CHRIST - there is a lot of work going to defend the guy who knocked his wife unconscious on an elevator.

Its extremely sad. As someone who has been in an abusive relationship, I cant figure out her mind set. I just can't.

I asked him what happened when we got out of the elevator. He told me he was terrified because security was there.

"We know our incident..."

There is nothing about anything regarding this whole situation that isn't incredibly sad.

My neighbour had a cat that used to go out for walks with her dog. The dog was leashed; the cat used to walk along the tops of the walls outside the houses. (This was in a part of London that had scores of Victorian terraced houses.) The owner said the cat just loved going out for walks with the dog, as the cat and…

One thing would have been, if she arranged for the grandparents to care for the kids and gone on a holiday. But this is ludicrous beyond. The lady surely should not have custody of her kids at all, albeit I don't believe what she did warrants jail time (thankfully the sentence was suspended). Hopefully, the…

those kids missed a serious opportunity to live out the boxcar children dreams of my youth.

Oh, I believe. I also believe I need to meet the hot guy, and his cat and little dog.

When I was 8 or 9, someone in my Sunday school class asked for prayer for a farm-boy friend who had hand-raised a calf named Buster and was devastated when his parents slaughtered him. He didn't stop eating meat until his parents specifically told him at the dinner table that he was eating Buster, though;…

I grew up on a cattle farm - when I was 8 I had a pet calf called Georgie. He was born realllly late to a mum who was too young to know how to care for him, so he had to be raised by us. He used to follow me round his little field and cuddle up to me, right until he was returned to the herd. He used to recognise me…

This is just a super-duper-sweet caring little girl with the most gentle of calves... adorable.

When the cow put her face on that little girl's lap my icy cold heart totally melted. Also I love that the mom was calm enough to realize how sweet that moment was and didn't just freak out that there's a cow in her house, which is probably how I would react.
