The Silent Scars of Domestic Abuse: Why Emotional Trauma Demands Legal Action

The emotional toll of domestic violence on women is often underestimated. One woman, featured in a recent video by O'Connor Family Law, described the psychological damage as worse than physical harm. 'I'd rather just get punched in the face than hear some of the emotional and psychological damage that was coming to me,' she said, highlighting the pervasive nature of emotional abuse. The video underscores the importance of legal support for women leaving abusive relationships. O'Connor Family Law, a divorce and custody firm in Massachusetts, offers free case evaluations to help victims navigate the legal complexities of separation and protection.
