Break the Cycle and End the Nightmare. Why do women stay and call it love? On a personal level, I had to ask “why did I stay?” I want my own experience to help even ONE other person to gain comfort, support and understanding.  Please be that person. Love, Sarah. Go to amazon for my book; HONEYMOON AND HELL: A Memoir of Abuse, Sarah Braun

[magneticlady68]

@MsSarah729 ..that's my hope too. Right now my niece is in the same situation that I was, but I think that her husband is more insane. I am so afraid for her and the children, and I am hoping I can reach her before it's too late. I won't give up.

[magneticlady68]

@magneticlady68 My niece is also went through what I did. My experience ws able to help her find the courage to get out of hers, too. It's also helping her to stay out of it. It's fairly new to her, and he is trying to play upon her sympathy to get back, as they always do.

BREAK THE CYCLE AND END THE NIGHTMARE. Why do women stay and call it love? I want to share my own experience to help even ONE other person to break the cycle of abuse and end the nightmare.

I agree.

Don't wait, leave him before the first hit.

[sackgirl78]

thank you for posting this video

i was with an abusive person for 12 years,

finally got the courage to get away, very grateful every day i am still alive.

[magneticlady68]

@sackgirl78 I think that the hardest thing to do, at first, is to leave. We make excuses, like I'll leave when the kids get older, or they will get better, I just need to try harder. I can change my hair, lose weight, cook better. I don't have no money and no where to go? I can pile them on, as I know them all, as they were my excuses at one time.

[magneticlady68]

@magneticlady68 Yesz, leaving is the hardest thing. They ruin your self esteem so badly, you beleive you can't do it without them and no one else will want you. Well, I'm living proof that you can and I have wonderful husband and life now. It wasn't always easy, but I made it. The hardest thing after leaving, is NOT calling them for help when you get in a bind, too. You absolutely must break all the ties you possibly can, or they will not let go.

[magneticlady68]

@sackgirl78 The kids will only have it worse, the longer you expose them to this. You will NEVER do anything that can change this person. The reason they are that way is not your fault. There are so many programs and people that will help you, but not unless you take that first step and don't look back. They will not waste their time and resources if you go back. I left with my car, clothes, daughter and no money. I have more than I ever had now. It can be done! I'm glad you did it too!

[magneticlady68]

@sackgirl78  I'm very happy for you that you got out. That is my hope with this. I want all the abused to know it shouldn't be like this and they CAN make it without their abusers.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO

[imasurvivor2706]

thank you....

[magneticlady68]

You're welcome. I only hope to get through to some women. I think I would rather die trying to get away from this violence than living like a caged animal. I know it can be done, if you take the necessary steps and don't look back.

[imasurvivor2706]

It can be done...I am proof of that. But it can also take a long time before you feel safe stepping out of that cage too...It has been several years for me and I am only now just starting to live again...and I know that I am one of the lucky ones...so again, thank you

[magneticlady68]

@imasurvivor2706 You're welcome. One of the main things I want to stress, is the children. The children suffer greatly. One must ask themselves, do they want their children to have a better life, or do they want to raise their odds that say they will become abusers too, if they continue to live like this.

[Steelmagnolia0506]

This is an empowering song...I know what it's like to just wanna look at the sun. Smell the summer. The spring thaw, To feel free , Uncaged. And yes we have to learn all over again to live. And we come to appreciate the things most people take for granted. I am still learning to be free even though I feel like a butterfly. Don't wait until he tries to kill you to get help. I know its hard. But there is help out there. Take a chance on YOU.

Peace

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROMO MUSIC VIDEO...if you allow him ...check it out

[chinton90]

i say a good punishment would be to make convicted spousal abusers step in the ring with a professional boxer or mma fighter. see how many women the sorry son of a bitch will hit after takin the ass kickin of a lifetime

[machine070]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

[mommacita4]

tHIS IS ONE OF THE BEST dv VIDEOS THAT iVE SEEN.

[magneticlady68]

Thank you. I can only hope I can get through to the women in this situation, like I was.

[AJSimBoy]

One of my friends had a purple ridden pen and I never knew what it was for. I'm sraced of the Tina Turner movie and I hate watching Lifetime Movies too!

[AJSimBoy]

Wow...this was the most saddest youtube video I've ever watch. My aunt use to get beat by her husband. He stopped for 14 years and then did it again. Sometimes I think about trying to kill him but I can't bring myself to do something like that. One time he was beating her in the room wile my dad and my grandmother was sitting on the couch and they didn't care to do anything to help her.

[magneticlady68]

Yes, it is a sad situation. But, it doesn't have to be if people will not give up on them and most importantly, if they do not give up on themselves. They can make it on their own. In most cases, they will need to leave the area where the abuser is, because of the danger. But there are so many programs to help you get on your feet and help you learn to take charge of your own life.

[magneticlady68]

I am living proof that it life CAN be better than this!

I would rather die trying than live like this!

[magneticlady68]

What should they do? Live in being beat daily or die trying to have a life? The chances are good that if they get help, they will better their life than living like this?

[superbooks7]

Statistics proove that the violence does not stop after a person leaves. The violence continues, only this time it turns out to be from the stalker ex.

[Nikki279]

But if you leave and get help then at least you have a chance. If you stay there is no chance for sure.

[acountrysdream]

Thats right! But even so its the victims desision on weather to live a better life or not. And some people just don't know how to get that better life,some are just to traumatized to think about getting a better life. Thats were family, friends, and counselers (a.k.a. shrinks) come in. And trust me after seeing one myself I got to tell ya they aren't as bad as people make them out to be.

[magneticlady68]

Are you afraid he will kill you if you leave? Ask yourself, will he let me live the next time, if I stay?

The more you go back, the harder it will be to leave, and the more likely you will become another statistic. You can do it,for if you were weak, you could not have endured all you have so far.
