An original poem about my experience with domestic violence

[unique0630]

I admire you for leaving! I was in my abusive relationship for four years before I finally figured out how to leave him and stay gone. I actually had to move far away from my home town just to stay away from him. He was very very determined to keep me. He went as far as threaten my friends and family. I stayed mainly for them until he started abusing my oldest son. That is where I had to draw the line! Best wished to u and ur new future!!!!

I'm glad you had the strength to leave after the first time. I know so many women who stay and keep telling themselves it will get better or that it's their fault. I was looking for videos/poems similar to my own when I found yours. It's on my page if your interested. God bless

[wr3stlegirl]

Very touching. My heart goes out.

[ruth7784]

Thank God you're shot of him! You should be really proud of yourself! The poem is very touching! X

[ibtheonlymarktoo]

the really sad thing about this is that you have to write and reflect upon it....rather than the multitude of happy things a girl of your age should be experiencing...and perhaps...putting those thoughts into words....

there is this thought...."we must leave the life we have planned....for the one that awaits us...." better days ahead missy...... :)

[Valthecatlover]

You described perfectly how I feel right now, only I didn't marry the guy. It's so difficult to love the person and have them say they "love" you yet their actions toward you aren't reflecting love

[clintosfan]

I can see where your coming from, I wasn't able to get out of a bad relationship... Its funny how I thought I couldn't leave thinking everything would be ruined, now that I did leave I discovered that I saved myself

[TAXtheAtheist]

any guy would be happy with you... He has very poor judgement =(

[Nicatroubadour]

he sounds like a total git

[Katylady87]

What is a git?

Good poem. And good for you for getting out of that relationship! It's hard, but in the long run it's worth it.

[MrJackGrayson]

Such a touching poem and my thanks to my friend Paul (ukp42) for sharing this with me. You are one of the smart ones who has escaped. I hope that someone watching this who might be in a similar situation will find the courage to break free once and forever.

Peace!!

[AngryChiProductions]

This is beautiful and sad... It is inspiring to people that you have spoken up and done the right thing. You deserve someone who will love you and care for you and who is respectable and kind. I hope you find that person.

[moomay11649]

I feel your pain. Been there.

[JoeyJr702]

So sorry that you you went through this, tough love, if this guy has a habit abusing you, get out while you can, before it goes too far.  Peace! Joey

[Katylady87]

I am already out don't worry. :-)

[Zarbod]

Great job. Good luck. Hang in there.

[pretendwedontexist]

i'm glad you are turning this negative experience in to helping others instead of becoming scared and not speaking up.

i hope you meet somebody else who will love you and respect you.

good luck in everything you do.

good for you you left m

[nagyac0]

i hope you divorce him, if i had a spouse that beat me i sure would

[Katylady87]

We are in the middle of a divorce, first and last time he lays a hand on me..

[Aractophragnus]

Very nicely said but sad at the same time. =(

Whoever did that to you doesn't deserve to be arrested. He deserves to be slowly butchered with a small piece of glass.

[Joshua0605]

Btw you are beautiful in the video, ;).

[Joshua0605]

You are so much better off without that asshole Katy. I'll be hoping and praying that you can find someone who treats you right like you deserve and you deserve it hon.

[cmsingerbill]

good Job!

"Domestic violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. It is devastating to be abused by someone that you love and think loves you in return. It is estimated that approximately 3 million incidents of domestic violence are reported each year in the United States." Dianne Feinstein

[oldiesedit]

Your poem is heart felt and heart wrenching! Beautifully written! I think it's hard to leave an abuser because usually, they beg for forgiveness and promice to change...but then it happens again...and again. No shame in being one of the 5%...you can be proud that you did leave! (Thanks Debbie for sharing!)

[uncledave10]

I hope you involved the police and had him put away . /5

[Katylady87]

Oh he is in jail, don't worry. :-)
