Abusive Relationship
Domestic Violence is an issue that continues to plague our society, and the judicial system in general, continue to slap men on the wrist without sufficient punishment to discourage the violence against not only women, but their children as well.
I remember only too well, the indescribable fear and abuse that my Mother and myself suffered at the hands of an abusive husband and father. It lives with you forever, and to this very day, I have nightmares and relive some of those times of long ago. My Mom bless her heart, deserved so much better, and only now has she been rewarded by being in Heaven. My father committed suicide in 1987, and in my opinion, did so because he could not live with the guilt and remorse. My Mom remained married to this man who abused her, and me, for 55 years until his death. It was 55 years of hell. Don't let this happen to you and your children...Please.
To break free and start life anew?
Have you suffered abuse, for months without end,
Wondering what, in God's name, you should do?
Do you notice the fear in your children's eyes
Each time that their father comes near?
Does your heart begin racing at the thought of his touch,
Scared from the words that you hear?
Is the peace that you find only there when he's gone
As you sit and stare aimlessly at the walls,
Wanting to flee with your young ones ~
But shiver when you here his loud call?
When he walks through the door and shouts his demands,
Do you wait on him hand and foot;
Afraid of a beating, if you do not obey,
And cower at his evil looks?
Are you finding the nights a true living hell,
As you toss and turn in your bed,
Thinking of the man you thought you once knew;
Now wishing that he would drop dead?
Please make the decision to flee for your life,
For yourself and your children's sake.
There are shelters and friends to call on.
Do this before it's too late!
