Posted in: , , ,

A man and his wife love each other immensely yet their day to day life can only be described as a "cat and mouse" situation as they fight violently almost on a daily basis. I watched Damage and would rate it a 3 out of 5, there is good use of suspense and even if hyperbolic, it nails the message of no to domestic violence perfectly.

Tonight, Peter, my little four year old cried himself to sleep calling for his mom, and as I lay beside him, I cried too. There’s no way around it… Divorce sucks. And there are many casualties.
