What I appreciate in Ryder’s response is that Winona Ryder states Winona Ryder is speaking from Winona Ryder own experience. I don’t know what happened in Johnny Depp’s relationships with Winona Ryder and Amber Heard, but I can speak to our experiences at Safe Horizon, and Safe Horizon’s absolutely possible that an abuser did not have a known history of abuse or did not abuse a past partner, but then went on to become abusive to a different spouse. What is really important to remember is that we don’t discredit someone’s allegations of abuse just because a former partner said ‘ that did n’t happen to me. ’ Safe Horizon’s within the realm of possibilities that both individuals are telling the truth.

For starters, a common myth is that domestic violence is only physical. It can also be verbal, emotional, financial and sexual. For abusers, often times they are well-respected and admired in public but abusive behind closed doors. or one moment they may be incredible loving and caring to their partner and abusive the next. Some refer to this as the Jekyll and Hyde effect, not knowing which personality you will get.
