Husband Starts Acting Like A “Psycho” After His Affair With A Younger Coworker Comes To Light
I heard someone say this week that being a woman isn’t an extreme sport, it’s a fight for survival. And she might be right. In many parts of the world, women are under threat, often from the very people that are meant to love and protect them.
According to an FBI report released earlier this year, there were 1.1 million (reported) cases of domestic violence between 2020 and 2024. Around three quarters of the victims were female. Sadly, 11,000 did not survive.
A terrified woman has shared a first-hand account of how she’s being forced to flee home with her four children. She fears for her life, after her navy husband hit her and attacked one of their kids. The mom plans to drive 1200 miles across America, with just $120 to her name. It all started when she confronted her husband of 16 years about his months-long affair.

Report reveals more than 1 million domestic violence victims in 5 years in the USA alone
The FBI’s 2026 Domestic Violence Special Report paints a grim picture. It tracks domestic crimes committed in a 5-year period from 2020 to the end of 2024. The report notes that the percentage of violent crimes within domestic relationships has increased.
More than 11,000 victims lost their lives to domestic violence and an additional 1.1 million people survived being attacked. Nearly 75 percent of the victims were female. “Of the 1,109,797 victims of other violent crimes involving domestic relationships, 694,552 sustained 755,110 injuries,” the report reads.
The FBI says that the most reported weapon type for domestic and non-domestic relationships from 2020 through 2024 was personal weapons (i.e., hands, fists, feet).
“From 2020 through 2024, firearms were involved in 13.7% of violent crime incidents involving domestic relationships, but for those incidents that reported non-domestic relationships that number was higher, 32.6%,” it adds.
Most of the violent crimes were committed at residences/homes, followed by highways/roads/alleys/streets/sidewalks and parking/drop lots/garages.
The FBI has also released an analysis of teen relationship violence in 2024. That too, paints a grim picture, with more than 70,500 incidents of teen relationship violence in one year.
Many people were moved by the entire ordeal and relieved that the family was now safe
