Kendra Hawk has been screamed at, shoved to the floor, pulled by her hair, punched in the face, strangled and stalked.
All told, she endured more than five years of physical and psychological abuse from her husband before she took steps to protect herself and her daughter in 2007.
Kendra is not weak, a common stereotype associated with victims of domestic violence. She is an attorney with her own law practice and a landlord.
Still, she found herself in the midst of a situation that thousands of Frederick County men and women are struggling to break from - balancing her desire to protect herself with the desire to protect the person she loves.
