The effects on women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) sometimes requires multiple supports

“I’m a victim of domestic violence…I wasn’t married to a man that beat me up, but my mother was…She stayed for too long and her children, my sister and I, saw far too much and I’ve suffered the damage of being a child of domestic violence. I’ve spent my adult life trying to really heal from that.”

Halle Berry
