I completely loved this interview. The most interesting thing I learned was that many female abusers are co-abusers.
I wonder if it should be “American Abuse Survivors Abroad” instead of “American Women Abroad?” It seemed to me that Bean was very definitive that while abuse was a gendered phenomenon, a percentage of abuse victims are male.
