This parallels my experience of "justice" in Lane County--primitive to non-existent. My abuser continues to abuse and he seems to get a free pass or slap on the wrist thereby escalating the whole climate of abuse, if you will. A prominent attorney who heads a program at a large University actually stated of the judge, "Oh, you couldn't have gotten a worse judge. He doesn't understand DV at all!" What is a person to do for protection, for justice, etc? To quote C. S. Lewis, "I have no answers anymore, only the life I have lived".
