Hi Carolyn, I'm pasting what you posted on my talk page here.

Hey Carole! I am one of the people who has been trying to change the 'domestic violence' definition to emphasize the issue that only once person can be abusive in a relationship. Thank you for writing me back to address that although only one can be abusive, both can be violent. Before I cited this website http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/svaw/domestic/link/theories.htm because it's one of the few online article that addresses the difference. I do understand your clarification between the difference of abuse and violence. However, since in the 'domestic violence' section of Wikipedia, if describes it as 'abusive behaviors' what do you think about the clarification between the abuse and violence being addressed? Thank you

It seems like your points relate to "Intimate terrorism (IT)" which is the ongoing, abusive relationship where one, usually the male, is the abuser, which I expanded a bit in the Domestic violence in the United States#Forms of domestic violence article. Is that right?

For reliable sources, it's best to get points that are generally agreed upon, and best if published in articles or books.

I'd actually been thinking about making edits to the Domestic violence article that I made to the article for the U.S. Am I getting where you're trying to go?--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:48, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

By the way, I've made this a "watched page", so I'll see your remarks here.--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:55, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
