I think you're out of touch with reality and have spent too much time in non-clinical work (research?) and need to get out and see people again.  The police disagree with you.  [b]I think you are confusing domestic violence, which can be a one-time event,  with domestic abuse which is usually a pattern of emotional or physical abuse.[/b]  [/quote]

Call it what you will, the distinction is there. Abuse, violence, whatever you want to call it, there's a difference. And the same distinction and pointing out the differences that you just made is what I made. Not all violence is the same. You said it, I said it. [/quote]

Yes, but in this case, the words [i]are[/i] important.  Domestic violence is a term that is defined legally and for law enforcement purposes.  If you're going to be giving this type of advice, you can't just randomly choose words.  Some have more legal consequences than others.  [/quote]

Look, I work in the field and work directly with judges, advocates, social workers, government workers, law enforcement, etc. I'm talking about nationally, Office on Violence Against Women, definition of domestic violence. So call it what YOU will, but I'm using the definition as defined by the Department of Justice. I'm sorry you disagree, and are using state-based legal definitions. I'm using the national definition as agreed upon by an awful lot of experts. So I'm not randomly choosing words. I was very deliberate.[/quote]

Lady, I work at the Department of Justice. I worked at OVW, I feel so strongly about how stupid you are I'm outing myself to tell you...YOU ARE WRONG. [/quote]

Glad you're gone. I heard they cleaned house. Glad to know it's true.[/quote]
