The mental health system is grossly underfunded in this country to support such abuse victims who cannot access life saving assistance or help. Maybe assisted suicide should be legalized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-4694473135684527042007-04-07T14:26:00.000+12:002007-04-07T14:26:00.000+12:00I agree entirely and have floated this idea severa...I agree entirely and have floated this idea several times on kiwiblog.
