Letter to the editor: Domestic violence message applauded

Tribune-Review
| Thursday, October 21, 2021 9:00 a.m.

Your editorial ”Let’s talk about domestic violence” (Oct. 13, TribLIVE) is one of the best and most needed commentaries you have delivered to your readers. It is especially meaningful in that it addresses the gamut of abuses that are committed by maladjusted or undeveloped individuals who are unable to interact in common relationships because of their own inadequacies.

Such abuse, as you indicate, is most often associated with male/female “love” relationships but is really, again as you pointed out, a part of the human condition. I was particularly motivated to write because my father taught me at an early age on how to treat my sister and women in general, how not to make fun of those who were generally perceived to be lesser individuals, and not to use the “n word,” among other things. That was in the ’40s and ’50s.

So I applaud the Trib for its effort to contribute to a noble cause and a more civil society.
