This is EXTREMELY disturbing and appalling. This woman was beaten by her husband’. Reconciliation is not what is needed right now. He beat her .
It’s not the first time. He needs to be tried and charged with abuse. The shame that a Governor has choosen to be part of this stupid reconciliation sets a DANGEROUS precedence and narrative on excusing violence against women.
Domestic Violence is rarely spoken about and people are suffering in silence . It’s dangerous!!!! No more reconciling people .
She has 4 children including a new born . Her options are limited and what she needed was assistance to leave (a transition home , scholarship for her kids ) she needed options to leave.
