Really is there anything new under the sun, do you think my mum did not know
the reality of this or I ever not witness it. Fuck it I know all about
domestic violence I was a victim and being a geezer ain't no let out when
you are too small to do ought about it, but do sommat I did as I grew older
and I can't say that made it any the more pleasant.
You think that abuse is confined to Women, well what about the (male)
children of abusive relationships ?
Sorry if this is a bit personal you have hit a raw nerve and I still suffer
to some extent from PTSD as the fashion has it.

> We would appreciate your help in the following ways:

> 2. We will be conducting an initial focus group of disabled women
> who have
> experienced domestic violence in Manchester on 25th November.
> For service providers
> We will be undertaking a survey of both local domestic violence and
> disability services to examine existing provision for disabled women.
