This was a really great video. Thanks for such inspirational words, a lot of us out here needed to hear this. So thanks so much. xo

@yummyislikenoother Thanks for watching babe...glad I could post it

[blackpepper7]

this is good that u chose to speak on this topic..us adults need constant reminders but esp our teen girls.. just last week the was a girl here in calif(south gate) who was stabbed by her ex boyfriend..came to her high school and did this. this is not the first story i heard with this same scenario.. and most likely that relationship may have been abusive which is probably why he was an ex.

@blackpepper7 OMG...that is incridible...horrible. I don't know if we are just starting to see these stories in the news or if it's that our teens are really going through it as of late. Teen dating abuse seems to be on the rise. Our girls and guys just don't know what healthy relationships are supposed to be...and how to react when things don't go the way that they plan. Hhhhh, it breaks my heart.

This is an excellent video. You're telling things that people need to know. We live and we learn.

Thank u for the video. I just gave birth to a little girl and am a single mon. This is something to keep in mind for myself and her. Especially when thinking of dating as a single mom. I appreciate the video.

@ajannasmom thanks to for sharing your story; I admire for that and for being strong and overcoming it.

[ajannasmom]

@babysisv So true V, thank you for sharing this too. I agree...same happened to me. You THINK you know, but in the midst of the 'love' you lose sight...we have to teach our girls and guys not to lose sight...

[ajannasmom]

@TianaSunshine Thank you Tiana for sharing your story. I think it is so commendable that you and your ex-husband were able to see what was happening from the inside and make it right for you two as well as your baby. I can't imagine how hard that must have been for both of you. Blessings to you and your family...xoxo

[ajannasmom]

@blackpepper7 It really really is. And so sad. I think it just comes from ignorance. Though I allowed my boyfriend at the time to abuse me, I was not raised in an abusive household. Knowledge is the key to everything. Hopefully those kids will come to question things as theye grow...it's part of the reason that I made this video. I hope that this reaches at least one person...

@mslazelle Thanks MsLazelle!!

[ajannasmom]

@miznikki2u Awww, thanks babe!! You just made my day xoxo

[ajannasmom]

@rmbb10 Aww, thanks honey <3 It was really heavy on my heart. Especially having experienced it when I was younger. It was everywhere and I felt like I needed to speak on it...xoxo

[ajannasmom]

@curiousnubia Thank you Nubia!! So true...mental models are so important

[ajannasmom]

@gotgant I'm very glad...thank you for watching dear <3

[ajannasmom]

@dacamla Isn't it though?? I'm hoping for the same thing...xoxo

[ajannasmom]

@mzmonday Amen sister!! There is a time and place for everything. I think that's what a lot of people don't realize...

[mzmonday]

Thank you so much for posting this video! It is how you carry yourself that gets you the good or bad attention that you want. Some women just go out shaking their behind, but they want a decent man in their life. How can you obtain that when you carry yourself in such a manner. And then they want to complain about how men treat them...come on now...But thank you for posting this! We as women are worth more than anything! :)

[babysisv]

@ajannasmom Good message. I think sometimes girls think they know their worth until they get into a relationship, then they get blind sided with feelings they haven't experienced before. A man can never lay a hand on you, but still be just as "abusive". I was in a relationship like that once, I gave him power because I was younger and naive. I let him define me by his words. So sometimes I felt like a princess & other times with the snap of his finger, I felt lower then the dirt I walked on.

[dacamla]

What a great video! It's so unfortunate that a lot of women AND men feel disillusioned and worthless. I see it everywhere. I hope your video can reach someone and possibly change their life.

[gotgant]

Thank you thank you THANK YOU so much for the positive message! <3 lots of people as well as I needed to hear this! Best wishes!

[curiousnubia]

It us all about mental models and how we view our lives and circumstances it tires in to so much you were saying . And yes this is domestic violence awareness month we had a vigil here in NC.
