The week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve might be a time for relaxation, generosity, fellowship and love for most families. For victims of domestic violence, this week signifies the opposite, magnifying dangerous circumstances that may have already been intensified due to COVID conditions. Tracy Carroll, director for the Southeast Missouri Family Violence Council women’s shelter in Bonne Terre, said domestic attacks tend to peak during the holiday season. “I think because of the weather, stress of money, the proximity of everyone at home. And we feel sick having to turn people away,” she said, noting that shelters in St. Louis, Jefferson, Cape Girardeau and Rolla are also full.
