In abusive relationships, the end can be the most dangerous part

Recent events have highlighted the dangers of ending abusive relationships, particularly for women and families. Two high-profile domestic violence cases this month have drawn attention to this issue. In one case, a former public official in Virginia allegedly fatally shot his wife before taking his own life. The couple was in the process of divorce at the time. Another incident in Shreveport, Louisiana, resulted in the deaths of eight children and injuries to two women. The gunman, who was involved in separation proceedings, targeted his own family members. Further details about these cases are available from the source.
