my thoughts on the Battered Spouse Syndrome as a defense? I say that it is a legit defense. I say that it definitely can be proven in a court of law.

The death of a loved one alone is heartbreaking, but the death of a spouse can be unbearable.

Women tend to have a longer life expectancy than men, therefore, over half of the women over sixty-five years old are widowed. There are only fifteen percent of men of the same age that are widowed (Kail and Cavanaugh, 2010). Widowhood is very difficult to deal with…

They are the cornerstone in support of the deployed service member and the family members left behind. Some people say that heroes are those who are fighting for our country. However, it is very evident that the challenges faced by military spouses make them heroes too. One challenge military spouses’ face that makes…

Afghanistan. This is the largest number of NG/R troops to ever deploy to war zones (Scherrer et al., 2014). NG/R spouses have been faced with unique challenges from multiple, lengthy deployments. Studies have documented mental and physical health challenges for NG/R spouses and the lack of access and barriers to adequate medical services (Erbes et al., 2012). The ability for the NG/R spouse to cope and adapt to the challenges faced has a direct impact on their entire family system including…

I think the most important lesson A Thousand Splendid Suns teaches readers is that spouse abuse is a issue all around the world.
