(1) Our opponents are exploiting the young age of 16 year old Claudia Conway because no bar is too low for them when it comes to politics these days.
The Conway family is affected by domestic abuse at the hands of George Conway.
Hear me out...

(2) The term "domestic abuse" includes psychological, emotional, & spiritual abuse.
I've survived all three, & law enforcement including these forms in their definition was a big help to me.
Kellyanne Conway is a devout Catholic, trying to keep her family together.

(3) I have a lot of regard for Kellyanne Conway, so I've understood what she's trying to do & have never said divorce would be preferable. At this point, her personal dilemma has reached breaking point, bc her kids are being used.
(4) She can't ask her husband to address it, bc she knows he won't, & she can't ask her daughter to address it, for the same reason & bc the public disclosures would just increase further.
As always she has to do what is best for her minor children.

(5) I have no idea whether seeking court orders to protect the other kids would be viable or advisable. She's now caught between a rock & a hard place, & as a survivor, watching this nightmare unfold saddens me.
We can learn from it, though.

(6) Whether you like or dislike Dr Phil, he came up with a great slogan in his work against domestic violence:
#EndTheSilenceOnDomesticViolence.
He's interviewed women maimed by their abuser, and people bereaved by the murder of their loved one.

(7) IMO if everyone out there had the same view of domestic abuse that I have, they'd ignore the private information this 16 year old and her father George Conway have released over the years. Because cheering them on just harms the younger kids, and the whole family, really.
(8) Much of what this child has said publicly about her family and the President is unverifiable and likely untrue.
In a perfect world, her father would be appalled that his own child is doing this and he'd co-operate with his wife to resolve the issue with dignity & skill.

(8) I can reach no other conclusion, from all the evidence, that he has been psychologically abusing his wife and now, as it always does, the effect on the children has become clear.
As the public we should not encourage the child's behavior.

(9) Domestic abuse knows no color, gender, income level, or social status.
In some ways, it's even harder to address when you have social status and high income. Many don't believe the victims/survivors. Often, the abuser uses these things as part of the abuse.

(10) What can I say to young men and women considering marriage and kids?
Choose wisely.
If you realize you made a mistake, get out. Learn from it.
Educate yourself, be aware, & always put #SafetyFirst.

(11) Addendum: Now Twitter is repeating the content of this child's tweets.
If I were in-house counsel, I'd advise them not to do this. But I doubt they'd hire anyone that sensible.
My advice would be based on child & family law, not anything to do with politics.
