In Dangerous Relationships, There’s Often A Second Nasty Secret In Play

With all the stories about domestic abuse we've heard lately, I've been thinking about the ways abusers keep their victims from getting away. Obviously, limiting access to money is a big one. Abusers do this in all kinds of ways, from controlling household finances to sabotaging the victim's job. It's nasty stuff.

Now actress Kerry Washington introduces Purple Purse, a program that provides a forum for discussing this problem and for working out solutions.
