Domestic Violence recently took my friend Christina’s life. Christi charged her boyfriend for strangling her on Memorial Day 2013. He served time in the Charlotte County jail from May 28 to August 23. When he was released she took him back. That same night, Christi was punched in the stomach, her stomach ruptured. Subsequently Christi’s body became septic and she wound up in the ICU by August 30. Christina never returned home to her yellow house. She went from ICU at the Peace River Hospital in Port Charlotte Florida to Charlotte County Hospice. She died on September 12, 2013. Christina would have turned 53 this past December 29. I am a strong advocate for women who survive. This man continues to date ………
