Shattered Love (Support Groups)
The main body of information on this site is a series of articles from The Standard-Times of New Bedford, Massachusetts, which were researched over a period of six months and published in the paper every day for two weeks. They cover the reality and experience of domestic violence from a variety of perspectives. The material on the perpetrators, the courts, coping mechanisms and the cultural context of abuse do not necessarily provide solutions (although there is a section on this and links to resources elsewhere), what they do is provide an attempt at understanding what exactly goes on.
