How Domestic Abuse Damages Children

Many Oprah Show viewers remember Susan Still, a mother whose husband physically and emotionally abused her throughout their marriage. One thing made this story stand out from the rest: Susan's husband forced their 13-year-old son to videotape him as he berated and beat her. While Oprah says this video is hard to watch, it's important for women who are staying in abusive relationships and have children to learn from Susan's story.
