Hundreds of women described their experience with domestic abuse Monday using the #WhyIStayed hashtag, and on Tuesday night, actress Marlee Matlin revealed her own experience with domestic violence.
I survived domestic violence with an old BF. It's more complex than any headline. What's important to know is abuse is unacceptable – PERIOD
