Hi,


With so many people having to stay home because of COVID-19, there were so many local and national news stories about the fear of domestic abuse rates rising. It really haunted me knowing that not only had this horrible situation gotten worse for so many people, but that it exists in the first place. (I knew this was a problem, but I guess I’m saying I was made more aware of it…)


Since abuse is something you talk about on your site (which is WONDERFUL, by the way — this is something we need to be aware of at ALL times), may I ask you to add some additional information that will hopefully shed some light on this topic?
