He even headed to the safe for more weapons. In self-defense, her mom shot him dead. DARREN stresses, this ain't rare. Domestic violence hits too many homes and women often get dismissed, even here in the States. Nobody took her mom's side seriously back then, but that resilient, shaped DARREN's own path to healing.
