My hope is that this case highlights that domestic violence is not always a man attacking woman issue.
In our last house we lived next door to a woman with a teenage daughter, she was a single mother who had lost her husband some years before and had no family support. The daughter was very polite and personable to everyone outside the house, but, within weeks we realised the poor mother was having a terrible time. All we could hear was screaming and banging around, the most disgusting language aimed at her mother. Then an elderly neighbour filled us in that the girl was violent to her mother, no drugs or alcohol involved and the mother was a decent hard working woman, but, when the police were called the daughter turned the charm on and the police always believed the girl. The mother got no help from anywhere because no one thinks a child could assault a parent. Eventually the daughter moved out and everything was quiet. This isn't the full story, but, it opened our eyes to how life isn't always as it's perceived and I think that's why I take Depp's side, especially after listening to one particular piece of audio.
