How to deal with the constant violence

Published

Hey guys. How many of you start getting really down about the constant senseless violence? Just worked a Saturday night full of GSWs and screaming families. Then of course there are all of the fights and domestic violence problems. How do you unwind after that kind of shift?

My husband and I have a little ritual we do when I get home from work. He asks me how work went and I tell him that it's over now. Somehow that helps me leave it at work. Vacations are a very good thing also. Sometimes just a three days off in a row to be at home or to go roaming around somewhere new can really recharge you.

That's a nice ritual. Now I just need to get myself a husband so I can practice it. :D
