I guess it's easy to be a judgmental person if you haven't been through it.

I spent 10 years with fractures, covering up black eyes, broken ribs. Being mentally and physically abused. Lost a cousin who was murdered for trying to leave her abusive relationship.

I got to escape but then he stole my kids for 2 years then put them through living hell. After the help of CPS and the police and courts I got my kids but none of us will be the same.

@LilPrincess Breaks my heart to read this. Glad you escaped but so sorry for everything you’ve been through. You are a strong and courageous woman.

@OlderSometimesWiser it took a lot to write that. Sometimes I feel like I can't catch a break because my last few relationships were not physically abusive but mental. Bruises heal but words stay a long time.

@LilPrincess I applaud you for writing that. I’m sure it couldn’t have been easy dealing with the mental images it brought forth.

Words can indeed be brutal. But I hope it won’t be long before you find the love you deserve. 🙂

@OlderSometimesWiser thank ya. I hope that for myself because I know there is someone out there good in a world that is filled with evil
