Blogging Against Abuse/Join in and blog on September 27th

Hi there my dear readers,

I know this is not my usual post but I want to write about abusive relationships today. There are so many people being abused day in and day out and it's not right. Alot of women think it's love that causes their spouse to abuse them and so they make up excuses as to why they stay in the relationship. I have heard the "Oh I don't have the money to leave." and the "But I love him.". I am writing today to hopefully show at least one person that this kind of lifestyle is NOT normal.


Have you found yourself saying " He promised it'll never happen again." or "At least he's not hurting the kids."? No matter what he says it's NOT going to stop. HE has the problem NOT you and the sooner you realize that the better off you (and your kids) will be. Some of my words may seem a bit harsh but I grew up watching in horror as my mother was beat repeatedly night after night by EVERY man she dated and to this day she is in an abusive relationship, only now she has started to abuse as well. She is living proof that it's not always men that abuse but women can too.

I watched my mother's head being forced face down into a toilet til she was almost unconcious, Do you want your child(ren) to see that happen to you? I layed awake at night hoping that it wouldn't happen again but guess what it always did. I am here today to say "GET OUT NOW!!!!". Don't wait til it's too late.

If you are reading this and you are the abuser, Please for your family or loved one's sake get help. You are not weak because you admit you have a problem. Most people think it is a strength to admit your faults. We all have faults some are just worse thn others and require help. Don't let your spouse or children suffer at your hand.

There is help for the abused. Get educated on what kind of help is available. There are shelters and if there isn't one in your area cal one out of town they can usually find a place for you to go and help get you transportation. No matter how scared you are you NEED to change your life even if it means leaving friends and family you need to choose between life or death. Which will you choose??

I have learned, from watching my mother, that I will NEVER put up with abuse of any kind, I will NEVER be the abuser and NOONE will ever come into my life and hurt my kids. I love my life and children too much to let anything come between us. So please learn from this entry and do something today!!!
