ACVOW and the Family
Domestic violence is never justified in any circumstance. Indeed, the
impact on the family is among the most tragic effects of combat stress.
We send our sons and daughters to war and they return to us changed
men and women. Often the changes manifest themselves violently or
through withdrawal. Gone untreated, post traumatic stress and traumatic
brain injury can devastate families and leave them fragmented. More
