A post from Jessie worth reading!

I GOT FLOWERS TODAY…..

I got flowers today. It wasn’t my birthday or any other special day.

We had our first argument last night and he said a lot of cruel things

that really hurt me. I know that he is sorry and didn’t mean to say the

things he said - because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today. It wasn’t our anniversary or any other special day.

Last night he threw me into a wall and then started to choke me.

It seemed like a nightmare but you wake up from nightmares to find

that they aren’t real. I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.

I know he must be sorry - because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today. And it wasn’t Valentines Day or any other special

day. Last night he beat me and threatened to kill me.

Makeup and long sleeves didn’t hide the cuts and bruises this time.

I couldn’t go to work because I didn’t want anyone to know

But I know he is sorry - because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today and it wasn’t Mother’s Day or any other special day.

Last night he beat me again and it was much worse than all the other

times. If I leave him what will I do? How will I take care of the kids?

What about money? I’m afraid of him and too scared to leave him!

But he must be sorry - because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today. Today was a very special day.

It was the day of my funeral.

Last night he finally killed me. I was beaten to death.

If only I would have gathered enough courage and strength to leave him.

So I got flowers today - for the very last time.

((I got this email today and wanted to post it for all to see. I hope if your someone who needs help you get it before its to late. Your not a lone and there are people out there that will and can help you..))

I sure hope she is not writing this from personal experience.
Unfortunately spousal abuse is a big problem, and it is hard to get out of a relationship like that. Hopefully the message is getting out that you can leave and there is help if you want it. http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domes…

powerfull. and sadly very true for some…

Help me with: I feel as if I wasted away my life.

This is, as Lilly said, very powerful and very true. It will encorage people to leave abusive relationships and to live a life worth living, instead of living a life worth nothing or pain. Very nice piece of writing! (Sorry, I know this line has been used, but I couldn’t think of another way to sign off, so the last line’s credit goes to those who have used it)

Hello Thargar!

Wow!
Some very powerful words ……hey I’m here to help people,but that was my life……but I got away!
Sitting here reading this is a so real…there are so many women that cant leave and they stay out of fear of more beatings when the boyfriend/husbands find them …no body wants to get involved so there is no where to run and hide,I had made plans to jump out of the vehicle driving down the free way …….I thought if I was going to die, I would be in control of my last breath….I just prayed to god evry day god would take him for his sins,,,,,well god did they put him in prison for some thing else He was a KING PIN,,,,,,now back in the USA!(thats all I’m going to say about that)

But if there are any women out there just walk out the door and keep walking…….its been 6 years for me since!
I feel rally good about my life and I know god watches over us!

OH Yah some thing I just did ,,,,I went back into my old house where it all happened took pictures of where all the bad things happen to me( the house is still the same But I have changed….there is still an evil feeling there ……but I had to do it I’m not affaird anymore!

Merry Christmas to all
Hugs and love too!

Hello!

This is the time of year that people get really depressed and do silly things to themselves and to their own children!

so I just want to say any moms reading this take your children and drop them off at a save place like the police,hospital,talk to some one at a church……don’t let the husband hurt you any more and the young adults out there reading this you can do something stand up for your mom!
Go tell someone that is safe Call 911 just dont stand there and let it happen FIGHT BACK!

I have really enjoyed sharing my stories ……it also makes me realize how far I come as a woman a (Healthy woman)!

I helps me heal when I can share with people who really do care and it helps the ones that are going through the same thing I did !

Love you all !

Life has a way of bringing out in us all the best and the worst. Roses only smell good when not attacked by the many other smells that may distort the fragrance they leave to attract the most humble of beast. Man kind being a beast of destruction has up rooted many a vine that would of bore enough fruit to feed the starving poor. Let not your sole be up rooted by the many who would have you see the thorns and never feel the closeness of mourning dew left in the rising sun. In the shadows of the thorns you leave yourself closed to the vine, not the warmth, being passed upon you as it rises in the dawn.
My sole has been like the thorns. Kept, as a barrier to protect me from the many that would see me perished not for who I am but what I could become. The path seemingly easy to most has left me to challenge the truthfulness of life and direction. I ponder the usefulness of which I am. Am I the one who shall master the unpaved road. Am I the one to find direction amongst the winding hills. Will some sole after my time stand here and ponder why the path was made so crooked or why not the hill removed upon the time of construction. Let it be known now as I start construction than I indeed have pondered and will pick as I see fit. I know many will have to walk the path but I, Yes I, will have to walk it the most. What I have found to be the utmost in truth is, even if you have a companion to start the journey, you will surely end at the finish line alone.
