<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Not all mothers
are being pampered this year. Each year more than 2.5 million American
women experience domestic violence and 325,000 of them are pregnant,
according to an article from The Huffington Post. All too often this
physical abuse results in murder. In a national survey of over 6,000
families, 50% of men who frequently assault their wives also abuse their
children. Repeated exposure to abuse yields lifelong cognitive, emotional,
and behavioral consequences for both children and their moms. This
Mother's Day we honor all of the mothers affected by domestic violence,
who in some cases by leaving their abusive circumstances also left
that which was familiar-- their homes, their friends and
communities.</FONT></P>
