A Mother Never Gives Up Hope: Older Mothers And Abusive Adult Sons
This new DVD shares the candid and powerful stories of Ruth, Lova, Anne, and Rita--four women who are dealing with abuse at the hands of an adult son. In their own words, they work through the emotions and pain of experiencing abuse from their sons, the impact it makes on them as a person, and how it affects their mother-son relationships. It also gives a two-year "window" in which the women look back on how they have changed as a result of the abuse--one takes back her own personal power, another feels remorse at not being able to maintain a relationship with her son. Both emotional and empowering, the stories will help advocates better assist other survivors of this under-reported form of elder abuse.

Martha's StoryMartha's Story: A Lifetime Of Walking On Eggshells
Touching and intensely personal, this is Martha's story of emancipation from Jim, her abusive husband of 51 years, 5 months, 3 days, and 1 hour. The video chronicles the gradual progression of the abuse--the control, the isolation from family and friends, the constant threats and intimidation, the public cover-up of the abuse--and finally, Martha's finding the courage to reach out for help. In her own words, in her own memories, Martha's hindsight on her 51 years of abuse is hard won and honest, and as much a catharsis for herself as a clarion call for other abuse victims to realize that there is a way out of their abusive situations.
