Episode Description
A few years ago I was eating dinner at a doctor's home in an upper middle class neighborhood in Dallas. The couple casually mentioned that they could often hear their neighbor screaming when her husband was beating her. I asked if they called the police and they responded that it was a family affair and that they didn't have the right to interfere. I was appalled by their attitude but unable to convince them to see things differently. Domestic violence in wealthy families is more common than we want to believe as we have seen with the recent media coverage of NFL players. All too often people choose to turn a blind eye not understanding that the abused individual is often not capable of acting in their own best interest. They get caught in denial, guilt, shame, self-blame, helplessness, the illusion that things are improving or the belief that they can tough it out. Why people stay is complex. Join us Thursday to learn how people gain the courage to leave and heal and how we can help.

You will learn how to weed out the negativity and to be grateful and positive in word, thought and deed, resulting in your ever-increasing happiness.
