The abuse itself was under the guise of a caring relationship, and so I thought there was something wrong with me because as soon as it began, I felt nothing," she said. "All thinking and feeling, I disassociated, which I now understand."

This operational plan should include details on how resources will be spent over the ten-year horizon on technology, service improvement, and personnel. This operational plan is key to ensuring the public and Congress are able to hold the agency accountable as it pursues needed improvements,” Yellen’s memo said. “It must include metrics for areas of focus and targets over the course of the coming years that the agency will strive to achieve.” Those grants would be allocated in cases where it can be demonstrated that a CVA settlement would impose a substantial financial burden, such as in a rural school district that has a smaller budget.
