My sister was a social worker before she became a Psychologist,
and her stories of working with battered women sound a lot
like yours. In fact she said she got to the point where she
felt like she could batter a couple of the women herself.
What bothered her the most were the children, she could
never get the women to understand that their children were
being abused by just living in those conditions, even if they
were never physically abused by dad.--------Nan

And I'm one of those white 60+ women who are supposed to be voting for
Hillary, and certainly old enough to be your mother. I was in a "man's
job" during the 60s-70s, and was absolutely delighted when one of my
male opponents would tell me I was way too pretty to be a lawyer,
because the next thing he would do was to spill his case to me out in
the hall. Terrific advantage, while it lasted. I represented a total
of three battered women during my career in court, breaking my back to
get them into shelters, get papers filed, fighting for restraining
orders at a time when they did not exist, and after all that each of the
three of them went back to HIM, and I never got paid. I gave orders in
my office that we would no longer represent battered women, and would
not even interview them - they could go to Legal Aid. I too was a
single mom and had 2 kids to support....I used to tell my friends and
family that I never had time to be liberated, I was always working too
hard....Carol
