He would never hit her but feels frustrated and powerless in the situation since they are recently married and have a one year old baby girl. But when thinking that this is happening to a lot of people, I can see how domestic violence could spark... not that i am in any way condoning that or saying it's the woman's fault! but now that i say something about it i can see a correlation with the recession.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246334545227005905noreply@blogger.com
