"You gotta be kidding," was my immediate reaction to the answer of False! But according to the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence that holidays see an increase of domestic violence is largely a myth. The reason being that victims try harder to keep the peace when families are spending time together.
On second thought, during the 23 years together with my ex-husband, it was easy to not upset him during holidays. He was a "happy" drunk. It was the days after holidays that he raged and changed from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde.
