This is NOT of personal experience. Thank God, this time my friends this is not something I have experienced ~ But ~ It is experienced daily, nightly, all over the United States and the world. Women so badly beaten and made to believe it is their fault. Afraid to leave, afraid to stay ~ Just plain AFRAID! If someone is reading this that is going through this hell, please, you can make a difference for yourself and your children. There will always be, one more beating! There will always be, one more night of confusion, shall I go? Shall I stay? Can I really do this? Can I get away from this Hell? There will always be one more "I love you and I will never do it again." There will also be one more "Mommy, I am so scared!" Don't let this happen to your child. Don't let this happen to you! Shall You go ~ yes! Can you really do this ~ you bet you can! Nothing will change till you change it! There are organizations that can help you if you can not go to family. Please don't be the mommy that refused to see reason. ~Lesa~
