Once Where Warriors, a NZ film, is a very powerful introduction to domestic violence, especially in indigenous people and other such as those who are of the pacific race..its really in your face stuff.. couldn't watch the movie the shorts were not easy to watch either, then the play was introduced, when attending the first Youth Justice Conference in 2004 the final section was viewing this play..you know you think your over it, the hurt, pain, emotions after years of no abuse, that isnt true, its always with you, even after decades, we are watching now an ever increasing crisis of Domestic Violence, encouraged by the lack of self esteem, self confidence, poor decision making, lack of responsibility and accountability that has eluded everyone for the past 30-40 years.
Thanks for this forum, I will pop in from time to time...Cheers Moira

Confronting. I'm glad that someone had the insight to show it as it is! However I'm alarmed that an ever increasing number of young males are now beginning to commit similar offences. As a former volunteer within the court system I have addressed perpetrators of domestic violence face to face. Most showed genuine remorse. Shock tactics will work to a certain degree but when the shock wears off how will we address the on-going issue of domestic violence?

Evokes traumatic memories of the constant domestic violence that I continually suffered for some decades. However these days I'm able to address those dv issues via my poetry. Through my writing I'm able to overcome the mental trauma.
Poetry remains my emotional leaning post as I have been able to rid my inner most dv. memories by writing. I would encourage other females to try and put their thoughts regarding dv. on paper. The emotional release that follows a writing session somehow rids you of the shame that you have suffered. Once you have
conquered those horrendous memories you will feel like a different person. It has worked for me....hopefully it will do the same for you. We are no longer considered as the 'weaker' sex when it involves domestic violence. We former victims are now the stronger sex because we have the ability to overcome the horror of dv. and confront our demons!
