We work with individuals. We don't take absolute stands on very many things. It feels as though society is trying to rescue people from accountability for their choices. We recognize that when somebody chooses not to take responsibility, that hurts both sides that were involved in the domestic dispute. How do you get past that when you know somebody violated you and they're saying “No, I didn't. Prove it.”?
There needs to be some measure of accountability, whether or not they get it through the courts. We don't need them to go through the courts; we need them at some point to say, “I did the wrong thing, and I'm sorry.” Important long-term changes come from the simple statement, “I did the wrong thing, and I'm sorry.”
