Understanding domestic violence

LookOnTheBrightSide started this conversation

It's scary. Some people cringe right up if I say those words. Those that bear the same battle scars are all related.

Something like that. Well whatever doesn't kill me, definitely makes me stronger.

At first when I talk to someone, they get sad. But what you don't understand is, it's OK now, because it's over. It's been over for more than two years now

I am learning as I go. My biggest problem was worrying about what his family was thinking. I was sure lies and rumors were flying around. I hate drama, always have. And I sure would hate to be a seed for it.

My kids tried so hard and were a big help. They said not to worry about them, because the truth would come out. I feel like I am always defending myself. Well I had enough.

Of course they were right. I have learned, that as evils try to overcome, stay focused and stay strong. We end up being a rainbow after a fierce storm. Cool, huh?

Writing all over the internet are all pieces of my book which I believe I will entitle, "Behind the Mastermind (of an abuser)".

In talking, chatting, emailing with people all over the country so far (I hope to be able to say 'world' some day), I have told enough of the profile, shocking many of them that someone actually knows, understands, honestly was there, being spat on for example on the floor. Yes, I was there.

I also have not been surprised. These beasts get stronger by degrading decent, caring human beings. I think the common ground for us, is we are wanting to trust, wanting to believe, and actually do feel guilty for the wrong reasons.

I found myself actually apologizing, after being hit. Those who were in the battle know.

The more publishings out there, in my eyes, the more credible I am for someone to reach out to. I have too many things that I want to do.  But at least I want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

How can I find these people? I pray.

I was there... I am there... living in a drug house... married to the drug dealer... hating my life and wondering how I came to be here and how it got soooo far outta control and now all I want is to protect my son and get out but I have been isolated from everyone for too long and he has manipulated too many ppl so all feeble attempts have landed me right back in the bedroom sitting on the bed behind a locked door while he watches his stupid sports and wont let me even spend time with my son.... I will survive this one too but tell the world about domestic violence and get ppl to stand up and not just look away when a man screams yells slaps ect his girl in public or even in the home if there are roomates... That is the worst for me is begging please help me and having everyone look away or turn and walk away while still watching these things happen... maybe someone will help me but so far they all pretend it isnt happening
