Healthy relationships and marriages, are often at the fundamental core of an individual, and family framework. For some a sense of belonging, shared life, mutual interest/s, an emotional and physical connection, is key in enhancing overall health and wellbeing. Yet for others such liaisons are fraught with challenges, communication difficulties, infidelity, arguments, coercion, violence and abuse. Of which, without any appropriate and focused intervention where safe to do so, separation and/or divorce is potentially the only option. Separation, and in particular; divorce is recognised as, and for most can be, one of the most stressful, painful, and traumatic times of their lives. The damage, distress, and destruction caused has short, medium, and long term effects if not handled and negotiated in the best way possible. The intention here is to reflect on divorce, in an attempt to gain some clarity, an enhanced awareness, and a level of empathy to make the difference.

"From the outset, women experienced infection and death at the hands of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Yet when the health crisis of AIDS first emerged in the United States in the early 1980s, scientists, doctors, and public health officials overlooked women in the response to a disease first associated with men. As the acknowledgment that women could contract HIV and die from AIDS grew, women became vulnerable to hostile government policies which threatened their health and rights. But they did not passively accept mistreatment; rather, they mobilized to frame the fight against the disease. Emma Day moves the historical understanding of the impact of HIV/AIDS on women beyond their exclusion from the initial medical response and the role they played as the supporters of gay men. Focusing on the activism of women who protested the co-occurring state neglect of their health care needs and state intervention into their lives, In Her Hands opens a timely new avenue to explore the relationship between the state and women's status in modern America"--
