A woman stayed with her husband after he stabbed her 46 times, and Mario Lopez made a joke about it. But at least it taught us something.
Mario Lopez recently took to Instagram to joke about a headline from 2018. True, the headline was so bizarre that it seemed funny, but the actor’s post shines a light on a far more dangerous reality – and it couldn’t be any less comical.

Unilad article. The headline reads, “Woman Vows To Stand By Husband Who Stabbed Her 46 Times.”
“Tell me you’re in a toxic relationship without telling me you’re in a toxic relationship # WhoSaysLoyaltyDoesn’tExist,” Lopez’s caption jokes. “Stand By Your Man” by Tammy Wynette plays in the background.

Domestic violence initiative gets $260K grant
In total, PetSmart Charities has contributed more than half a million dollars to the Urban Resource Institute
June 28, 2021
An initiative aimed at protecting domestic abuse survivors and their pets, as well as preserving the human-animal bond, has just received a sizable donation.
PetSmart Charities has awarded a $260,000 grant to Urban Resource Institute (URI), an American provider of domestic violence residential services. The donation marks the foundation’s third round of funding to the organization, bringing the total amount contributed to $510,000.
The grant will fund research into the role of pets in domestic violence situations, both as a barrier to seeking safety and as a critical human-animal bond, supporting healing from trauma.
LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST: Today is National PTSD Awareness Day, and we re going to tell you one story of an American veteran of the Iraq war and his wife and the toll post-traumatic stress disorder took on their relationship. Their story is featured in the current season of NPR s podcast, Rough Translation. NPR s Quil Lawrence is cohosting that season, and he joins us now. Hi, Quil.
QUIL LAWRENCE, BYLINE: Hey, Lulu.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: So tell me about this couple.
LAWRENCE: Yeah, Matt Lammers - he s an Iraq war vet, two Purple Hearts. The second one is from an explosion which cost him both his legs and his left arm. And he s also got PTSD. People call that kind of a hidden wound. But because he s a triple amputee, people notice him, and then they see his military tattoos or bag. And almost every time I ve ever been out in public with him, strangers come up and say thank you for your service. And he doesn t always know what to say back.
Help is now a text message away for those facing domestic violence in the Milwaukee area.
The Sojourner Family Peace Center has launched a 24-hour texting hotline to complement its existing phone support line. The service will allow people who lack privacy to access help quickly and discreetly. I expect that this service will be meaningful for people who don t feel comfortable with verbally reaching out to someone, said Carmen Pitre, president and chief executive. Someone who s trapped can t make a call. They might be able to take a minute in the bathroom and text, she said.
Trained staff and volunteers will be responding to messages and offering support and resources. The ultimate goal is to connect verbally, if it s safe.
