Roseanne is rushing to get ready for work. She finishes helping 3 year old Matthew get dressed and gives him some breakfast. She grabs the baby from her crib and a shooting pain stabs her in the right shoulder. With the pain comes the memory of last night. Roseanne’s husband Jack got home late last night-he had been drinking and he was in a foul mood. He finally went to bed-but not before berating Roseanne, as usual, and slapping and punching her multiple times. She has bruises on her face that her makeup can barely hide. She touches up her makeup one last time before dropping off both Matthew and the baby with her mother. Her mother knows that it’s been difficult for Roseanne, but she doesn’t know how bad it’s gotten. Since Roseanne was pregnant with 5 month old Tara, she has been punched, kicked and sexually victimized repeatedly by her husband. It has become a routine part of her life. While driving to work, Roseanne starts crying. She tries to reapply some more makeup to cover the bruises as she rushes onto the unit. Roseanne is a neonatal nurse.
