So I am still stuck. I don't know how to get the stuff out of my head that I saw while researching today.
I was functionally useless this afternoon - I basically couldn't handle any more information about DV after watching the vlog. I kinda hope I can tomorrow, or that is going to be a bit of a problem. I mean, not only do I do legal work for a lawyer who deals with DV clients on Wednesdays, but I work on a DV presentation, my DV assignment and I just agreed to take on another DV project for another CLC. So if I can't handle this stuff, I am a bit stuffed.
I can't decide if doing a bit of research to find out all the facts of the actual case that I got part of today would help. But I don't know.
I mean, it is good in a way - given the subject I am working in, it is good to know that every know and again you will get kicked in the guts by this stuff, I mean, you should. One woman a week is killed in Australia by her partner or ex-partner - that kind of fact really SHOULD smack you around emotionally, right?
So, in conclusion - DV broke my head today. And so I need to work out how I move on with this. Suggestions gratefully accepted.
