To the Editor (and all leaders in our country, states and communities):
On the heels of a tragic loss of a family of five to apparent murder-suicide in MA, the need to know more about mental health and safety in relationships of all kinds is clear if not dire. Unfortunately not all forms of abuse are obvious to outsiders and maybe not even to the adult or child victims themselves.
We need to try to consider what we may be missing and ways to advocate for more screenings and gentle or direct interventions for victims of any kind of abuse whatever their age or ability to self-advocate.
