Can we have a domestic abuse support forum?

POsters, including me, are having things bleed over to the Mental Health forum. Some verbal abuse was posted in Seniors. An actual attack upon a spouse in another forum.

Ty for your consideration. XD

Mental health is too broad a category and further, Domestic Abuse issues encompass spouses, partners, kids, parents etc.... creating an important sub group that needs its own "safe" space.
Could we consider making it secure requiring a separate login to protect posters?

Even if it is not protected, sadly, domestic abuse cuts across all socioeconomic and political strata...I think there may be more of it here than suspected. This includes verbal and emotinal abuse as well, coming from not necessarily a partner all the time. Family members, parents, children.
