| Summary |
This riveting program looks at the devastating effects of abuse upon older women within intimate or spousal relationships as well as abuse by adult children. Covers a diversity of seniors, representing many different social values, upbringings and experience. In common however, many women over fifty retain strong beliefs about privacy and self-reliance, are more likely to practice a religion, and are traditionally committed to the family, the husband and the home. Other isolating factors associated with age include health and disability issues. The primary message here is that older women can be victims of abusive behavior although it is often silent and invisible. All forms of abuse are unacceptable and an abuser must be accountable. Age is no excuse. It's never too late for an abuser to stop and for an older woman to get out of an abusive relationship. Contains disturbing scenes. |
