Help of Door County is educating the public that domestic violence is not so much about anger as it is about power and control. Milly Gonzales, the executive director, says an abuser who is losing power and control will lash out and do everything they can do to keep it. She says financial control is another major issue faced in Door County for a variety of reasons.

Gonzales adds that children can often be used as pawns by abusers, who accuses victims of bad parenting and threaten to take children away. You can find more information about Help of Door County and the complete conversation with Milly Gonzalez below.
