Domestic violence has been top of mind this month, not only because October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but also because in just the past few weeks, there have been several deadly domestic violence incidents in North Texas.

"Women and men suffer from domestic violence, and a lot of them in silence, so nobody's ever knowing what's going on until it's too late," said Yvette Stratford.

Stratford is a domestic violence survivor. She says that asking for help is rarely easy.

"I think a lot of emotions take place when you are going through that. One of them is embarrassment, that you're even allowing yourself to be in that place, and then of course, knowing who is safe with that information," said Stratford.
