Dead Windows: My long journey out of domestic violence

by James Snowden Walker

Overview

Many Black men suffer silently with the long-term effects of growing up in a household of domestic violence and child abuse. We are taught to be tough, not to cry and to brush off the abuse as just a part of life. For those who seek help, there are very few mental health resources available. I was one of those men who was told to "get over it" as I grew older but I remained frozen in those childhood memories. And it took decades for me to find self-worth. I know many Black men will see themselves in my story.
