Case study:
72 year old women called 911 due to a domestic violence incident with her husband. She is a stroke victim and her husband is her caretaker. The police called the domestic violence shelter where I worked because she needed a place to go.  Her husband just recently filed for divorce. All three children reside out of state and she is not sure which one she would move with because she would prefer to stay in the hometown where she was raised. The client is pleasant to be around but often times she is in the corner crying uncontrollably and has feelings of ending her life.
