Family Support

I'm going on the road again. I'm headed to California until July 7 to be with a family member in need of love and support. That's one way that family can be so wonderful - they can be there to support you through your good times and bad.

For battered women, though, abusers will sometimes work hard to cut their partner off from friends, family, and support systems.

Country music singer, Mica Roberts, has written a song about domestic violence and family connections. Ms. Roberts also has partnered with Verizon Wireless to help raise awareness about domestic violence and the Helpline Project - where Verizon Wireless provides re-furbished cell phones to battered women and also uses the profits from the sale of refurbished phones to make donations to domestic violence crisis centers.

Here's the link to Mica Robert's music video for the song, Things a Mama Don't Know.
