DEAR ANNIE: ... we wanted to let your readers know about our organization and our suggestions for dealing with domestic violence. ...
DEAR ANNIE: We appreciate your care for community members in the Spokane, Washington, area and the time that you spend responding to questions from community members who contact you. We share your commitment to supporting others and being a resource for individuals in need.
It is common for those outside of a relationship impacted by domestic violence to discuss potential solutions in simple terms. When giving advice related to domestic violence, many people tell survivors that they need to leave, set and maintain firm boundaries and get mental health support. Responding to domestic violence in this way can be damaging, and we were concerned when we read advice like this in your response to “Trapped.
Furthermore, it is incredibly important that survivors of domestic violence are empowered to make their own choices and have them respected by others. Domestic violence is marked by an imbalance of power and control in a relationship, where an abuser gains, leverages and maintains power and control over a victim or survivor.
Believing survivors and providing nonjudgmental support is so important, and we know that it can be challenging. -- Supporting Victims
