Cause: My Name Is Jess OvertonFrom Case to Cause: My Name is Jess Overton
The client, Jess had done so well for the 30 days while sheltering that she almost enrolled in a training program. She had wanted to be a lab technician, but due to the lack of funds, her parents could not to send her to school. She was also preparing to move into a transitional apartment, but with all these excitements, David was still fighting for the custody of the children. The court had also given visitation rights to David, but it would be under supervision and Nick had refused to visit his father. For Shannon and Marty, they would go to the court every week and see their father for one hour. When Shannon went to sleep, there are moments when she would cry for her daddy (Mcintosh, 2015). The above things and moments were so difficult for Jesse to be alone and prompted her to want to go back to David.

Women have been forced to live with Concussion Syndrome and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to the everyday result of abuse.
In most instances, the woman would run away with the kids, but in the end, would find herself back in the relationship due to circumstances beyond her reach. The children are the most important factor in marriage and therefore, what Jesse did was a plus because she put the welfare of her children first before her physical ailments. Additionally, we have social services that have come in…
