“You would be surprised at the uptick that we see around holidays,” said Dr. Conte Terrell, a domestic violence recovery expert. Memorial Day weekend is often filled with cookouts, parties and family gatherings, but Dr. Terrell says high emotions, unresolved conflict, alcohol and even social media can quickly intensify tense situations.
“You have to be really careful, you have to be mindful holidays do not take away the same issues that you had prior to the holiday,” Terrell said. Watch alcohol consumption closelyEnd the party early if tensions rise Last year, KPRC 2 reported on several shootings tied to the Memorial Day holiday, including a deadly shooting on FM 517 in Texas City.
Terrell says family violence is preventable if people pay attention to warning signs early and are willing to step in before tensions spiral out of control.
“Once something starts, it’s really kind of hard to go backwards,” Terrell said. “You want to do as much preparation to prevent as possible. And so a lot of times, being aware, not overlooking the red flags, not being intimidated or afraid to speak up, but be mindful that sometimes, many times, in these cases, you might want to call the law. ”Emmy award-winning journalist born and raised in Alabama.
