A discussion ensued today in Language Development about domestic abuse. I can't even begin to describe how appalling the whole idea is to me.
Especially on children.
Abuse is about control. It is about power. I wish it would just stop - physical, emotional, sexual or otherwise.
I just can't imagine if a student, one day, writes up graphic and gory details about a rape in an essay which I will mark. I can't imagine one day, when a student comes to school always with bruises and warm battered marks on his body. I can't imagine if a student, one day, tells me that he is scared to go home because that's where his father is.
What will I do?
I. am. tired.

It's a tough world out there indeed. We just need to deal with them. Those instances make me rethink and be thankful that I am not in that situation.
