A home is where you should be safe, but the threat of under his gun? Is she abused by him or protected? Haunting. Dave C

I'm sure that could add nothing more to what has already been said but this one really hit me. Intense in its subtlety . Happy Friday Maureen xxoo

With business as usual all shuttered up, the dark unseen and un discussed is is in full view. x

Well, this is not a pleasant thought but then the woman who is abused lives in constant unpleasantness. I wonder if we as Americans could do more to prevent it. Sara

Thank you Sara. Up here in Canada, with the covid shut down, more money and resources are being put towards shelters and call centers, I hope they are doing the same in the US. Stay safe, warm hugs, xomo

Damn! A dark and expressive message so vivid in a very few lines. Wonderfully expressed

Thank you so much Funom. When something crawls under my skin like this I am driven to find its most succinct expression. I only know I'm there when I feel the pressure release. Stay safe! Warm hugs, xomo

Depends what's in the gun? It is loaded? With overcoming fragrance? shalom, shalom (Seriously, LOCKDOWN may be US Superbowl for abuse. So VIGILANCE)

I feel for women who are now isolated with their abusers. They used to have some relief when their husbands went to work. Very sad days for so many women.

Yup, sad, long, long days. I know I am lucky to have a gentle man for a partner. Thank you my friend, have a lovely day! xomo
