When pictures of Rihanna came out on the Internet showing her beautiful face tattered and bruised because the fist of boyfriend Chris Brown struck her in a violent attack, it left most of us in disbelief and shock - that yes, even the young and fabulous in Hollywood struggle with the same issues we deal with or talk about on a daily basis in our most intimate relationships.

Yes, romantic relationships can be wonderful with the right person but as Dr. Andrea states, "A relationship with the wrong person can wreak havoc on a person's life leading to years of heartache, emotional/social unrest, and even physical damage. This is an important show for every woman to learn the signs to watch for and to understand what goes through the mind of an abuser."

· It is estimated that 2 million to 4 million US women are assaulted by a domestic partner every year. Twelve million women (1 out of 4 women) will be abused in their lifetime.

· One study estimated that more than 3% (approximately 1.8 million) of women were severely assaulted by male partners or cohabitants over the course of a year, while others indicate the percentage of women experiencing dating violence, including sexual assault, physical violence, or verbal and emotional abuse, ranges as high as 65%

On Monday, July 13th at 1pm ET, Dr. Andrea will be discussing the 13 deadly relationship mistakes most smart women make in their quest to find a lifelong partner. Dr. Andrea will be joined live by Kimberly, a woman who was abused in her first marriage of three years although the warning signs were blaring when she and her ex were only dating. Also live on the show is a man, "SP", a former abuser, who will talk about why he found himself committing violence against women in his relationships.

Then, Dr. Andrea will be joined by singer/songwriter, Meritxell, the new 'Peaches' of Peaches and Herb. Meritxell, who hails from Barcelona, Spain, has teamed up with Dr. Andrea to bring the I Love You, Me! Women's Empowerment Project to those who need a new start in life. Meritxell will share insights on how domestic violence affects the Latina community.
