telling me everything. she was focused on the custody issues. that i thought i had better just ask her again. i asked her bluntly and said, could you tell me what support need in general? could you tell me what support you need from me? why don't you call me? and she said she wanted to make it work with her husband, she talked about her relationship and she wanted a warm relationship, she respected what he did and he did really good work. and he worked a lot and he was not around as much and she wanted to have a little bit more different relationship. and so she told me she wanted to get some marriage therapist, but they work together and try to work it out.

of what she had said, that they had gone into an argument about venezuela. about how they were yelling back and forth at each other, you know, and she stepped out of the car, she did not care about making a scene. that is what she had told me and she said she had a bruise on her arm as she did not depict any seen more than that. i did not get all the details. >> you concluded from that description, did you not, that it was what you called in your declaration as a domestic violence incident? >> i would say so. that is in my opinion. >> that was the conclusion you came to at the end of the very first conversation? >> yes. commissioner renne: and the second conversation that you had with her which occurred wivuuui+ the hour of the first, which

demeanor to the extent to could draw some conclusions over the phone? >> i guess troubled, stressed, wanting to get information about the custody issues. >> are you saying the first conversation was that she wanted to -- you initiated the call to get at ration on the custody issue? >> that is what she talked about their the end of the conversation. she was really wanted to talk about that. what i was going through an assessment of domestic violence and trying to see if it was a cycle and seeing if she needed any support and providing affirmation and referrals and it was the open-ended questions, was there anything else that she wanted to talk about, try to

probe what kind of support i could provide. as a person, as a woman, someone who cares about women and social justice and community. but there the end of the conversation she was very -- i do not know what the word is. really stressed about the custody as i talked about the last part of the conversation. commissioner renne: in going to this second conversation which was at 3:31 p.m., approximately 40 minute conversation, could you separate out what was discussed in that conversation from what you discussed in the first? >> was that the longer conversation after the 40 minute conversation? which one was that?
