While a victim of domestic violence can feel a sense of insecurity during the holiday season, so too does their family.

Andrea Kocher is the Director of Services for Willow Tree Missions in Piatt County and indicates while their services are often geared towards the victims of domestic violence, she often hears from family members of those victims about how they can support their loved one.

According to Kocher, many diminish a domestic violence relationship because of the notion the abuser has an anger management issue. She strongly feels abusers actually have the greatest handle on their anger.
