Life, like science, is full of unexpected discoveries. Sometimes, the deepest revelations come from the darkest corners of our own experiences. Scientists have made numerous discoveries about human existence, the importance of life, nature, and even numbers, but they have failed to fully study the essence of human emotion: how humans react once their emotions take over them. It is believed that no matter how advanced scientists get with their discoveries, human emotions will always have something new to offer.
This blog post is a little sneak peek into the story of a well-known scientist, Susan W. Svoboda. A lady took a lane down her memory to tell the world that, no matter how easy it seemed, her life was never easy. In her book A Bully In The Closet, Susan discusses the most sensitive parts of a person’s life, exemplifying them with her own experiences.
Here is what Susan has to say to people.

The Traumas of Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse, a menace haunting countless households, is a topic often shoved under silence and the stigma of marriage being the most peaceful stance.
