Book Preview: #1 I had a mother and son relationship with Keith, my mother’s boyfriend. He would come over to our house and terrorize us, and I would have to hide in the bathroom to escape his violence.

#2 The simple but powerful message is this: if you grew up with domestic violence, you no longer have to live with the effects today. As Alison Gopnik, professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, says, we are capable of change.

#3 The impact of domestic violence can be long-lasting, even if it happened rarely or not at all during childhood. It can still be extremely painful and frightening for a child to witness, and they will absorb those feelings and associate them with their own worthlessness.

#4 The effects of domestic violence go far beyond the victims. It impacts the lives of children in a significant way, by changing their neural architecture. It lowers their IQs and slows their development.
