Clinical therapist Dr. Sabrina Jackson believes stress pushes a lot of people to domestic violence.
"People not having jobs, the financial state that they're dealing with. And when people are stressing, the people that they live with see the worst of that," said Jackson, in an interview with WWJ Newsradio 950's Pat Vitale.
In many cases, Jackson said people experiencing domestic abuse often suffer in silence.
"There is such a sense of shame that I have allowed myself to be in this position now, with a person that I loved, that you saw me at the family cookout with. That now it has turned so bad, and people do not want to share that," Jackson said.
