"After centuries of not addressing the abusive behavior in families or intimate partner relationships (domestic violence), towards the end of the 20th century there was progress. However, there continue to be numerous myths, misconceptions, and outright denial that fragment and divide proper understanding of the issue. The enigma that is domestic violence remains unresolved and deliberations continue to be contentious rather than conciliatory."
