Site Helps Women Better Understand The Signs of Domestic Abuse

And Ways to Help Victims

WHAT:           Amid new revelations about what actually happened in the car between Rihanna and Chris Brown, www.firstwivesworld.com Editor-in-Chief Jill Brooke has posted a controversial editorial noting that Rihanna’s reconciliation with Brown shows all the signs of domestic abuse.

                        Brooke says, “After being allegedly beat up, Rihanna isn't invoking Aretha Franklin's lyric "You're Not Welcome Anymore" to Chris Brown, which is upsetting but not surprising.

                        “Prior to this case, many falsely believed that those who stick with someone after physical abuse are only doing it because they are trapped – they don't have money, independence or a viable place to go.

                        "Having covered many domestic abuse cases, I have learned that love is a habit and if your self-esteem was battered early on, being mistreated is a familiar pattern. It's not always economic.”
