View Article  Stop Domestic Violence
Look, domestic violence is nothing more that the behavior of a bully or bullies who grew up learning that tantrums get you what you want. It is nothing more than the action of a person who is "in control," doing what they were taught, over and over as they grew up.

Most couples that come to me seem to wait until the very last moment.    more »

Learn Good Communication: It is not that hard, but it does take training. Communication is a skill. If you don't have good communication, it just means you had poor training. Good communication comes naturally to those who were taught good communication as children. It is never to late to learn. If poor communications is your problem, fix it. Learn. I did.    more »
