Domestic Violence can be such a tragedy.  If not checked, the result can be death.  The cost in physical and emotional trauma is  devastating.  If we approach conversation with open hands, palms up, we can overcome the violence.  If you find yourself tensing, making a fist, it is time to time yourself out.  Get away, and come back to deal with the issue after you have calmed yourself down.
