Hi

Stumbled upon your blog via "One Sassy Girl"'s blog and the title of this post attracted my attention.

As a previous suffering of emotional and physical abuse in a 3 year relationship I could totally relate to what your mother had written. I'm glad she finally found the courage to leave. People are quick to judge sufferers that don't "just leave them". But it's just not that easy. And, contrary to popular belief, it CAN happen to anyone - not just the "weak" ones.

Have now moved on and married a lovely man who would never dream of doing a thing to hurt me and i'm just so glad I finally got the courage to end the last relationship.

My first husband was an emotional abuser. To the point where his three oldest children have nothing to do with him. I am married to a man now that truly loves me as I am. I talked to him about losing weight once and he said, "What size are you?" I said, "22." He said, "Well 21 1/2 would be enough." May every person...man, woman, and child...find loving relationships that build rather than demolish.

Oh my goodness! The poem offers peace and healing!...

(((((((Multiple Personalities)))))))), I'm so happy you got yourself out of such a dreadful situation and, more importantly, that you've found true happiness. I really appreciate you opening us to myself and others, maybe it will touch the life of a woman in a similar situation.

These are such powerful words, and this poem spoke to me. I was in an abusive relationship with my son's biological father years ago. The abuse started when I became pregnant, and didn't stop when I had my son. In the midst of his physical abuse my son, who was not even a month old, was almost hurt, and that's what made me realize that I had to leave. I packed one suitcase, a stroller and carseat...and within two days I was literally on the opposite side of the country, and I haven't looked back. Almost nine years later, I'm living a simple and happy life with my husband, who is the most amazing father to my son. I congratulate your mom for doing what she needs to do, it's not always as easy to do as it seems. It will be difficult at first, but she will come out the other side of this a much stronger and happier woman. Thanks for sharing your heartfel story.

Ahhhh this was spectacular and awesome.
