It’s not that you’re more aware, there’s nothing about simply having a daughter that makes you know more about violence against women. You know her mother, that didn’t make you more aware. It’s that for once, you care. A little. About one of us. Because you feel ownership.

@a_new_eliza Getting out of a bad marriage is IMO always good news. That doesn’t mean it isn’t also heartbreaking, earth-shattering, difficult. Nothing is universally anything but culturally we equate divorce with failure when in most cases, divorce is the result of successful self-advocacy.
