Many of my “court-ordered” referrals involve domestic violence. I really should put together an anger management class. God knows the demand is out there. And when my anger clients tell me about the lousy groups they’re forced to attend, I know I could do better. Probably won’t happen. I’m essentially lazy and I get tired enough after a week of individual sessions.

I wanted to write about domestic violence and how it’s almost never punished because it’s almost never reported. But it is oh, so common. Thankfully, I grew up without slaps, punches, or beatings, so I have a very low threshold for family violence. My heart breaks for the children who lived in dread of those even more imaginative, cruel and truly monstrous punishments I’ve heard about in my sessions.
