My daughter was physically and verbally abused by her spouse. She is in the process of trying to get a divorce and sever all ties with him and leave the state.
ReplyDeleteI knew a girl in high school who had to deal with an abusive boyfriend for awhile. Thankfully she dumped him and found someone that treated her well.
ReplyDeleteI have not. Thanks for the chance to win!

I have been in an abusive relationship and had to finally go to court to request a restraining order. He is now in prison until 2021 for unrelated charges. Thanks for bringing some awareness to this.

I haven't been in a abusive relationship nor do I know anyone,but I have a lot of respect for those that found the strength and courage to get out of them, and to all of the organizations that help those in need
ReplyDeleteI have seen it happen to others. And, have heard recollections of such from friends. I am glad you are bringing awareness to this....May it help people to get out of bad circumstances if they are in them.

No..I'm lucky enough to avoid that in my life.
ReplyDeleteI have not been in one and don't know anybody who was in one! Thank you for the great giveaway Look forward to reading the new book soon!
ReplyDeleteSadly I have, it was my first long term relationship as a teenager. He was three or four years older than me and started messing with drugs.
ReplyDeleteThe bad thing is that I noticed it little by little but I was so brain washed thinking I deserved everything being done to me, that this was normal and ok that it was only until I almost died at the hands of it that got me away.
They say that getting out is easy but they are wrong because you are never truly free of those horror's, I am still constantly haunted by nightmares of the past.
Thankfully I was blessed with a strong partner who understands when he can't touch me or make sudden moves until I come back to the present, who taught me to love myself for me and to be a strong woman.
I have not, but I know others who have.

Unfortunately, my first husband was an abuser. I credit God and my family for getting me away. Had I not been pregnant, I don't think I would have left him so I am always thankful of my daughter. What most people don't realize is how subtle it starts and they convince you that it is in your head and you caused it and that it will never happen again. I would love to read this book. I hit the lottery with my second marriage and got a man who is not only wonderful but adopted my 4yo from the first marriage who turned out to have autism. He loves her like his own. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway and for writing what I am sure will be a touching and great book.
I have not, but I know others who have.
ReplyDeleteparisfan_ca@yahoo.com
yes i have
ReplyDeleteSomehow my group of misfit friends in high school seemed to be more touched than most with abuse. My best friend was physically and emotionally abused by her mom, two of my friends had been sexually abused at one point, and I was verbally and emotionally abused by my father. Luckily we all seemed to have escaped it in our adulthood.
ReplyDeleteYes I had a very close friend go through this with her husband, it was terrible.

No, I've been very lucky, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteI was a victim of domestic abuse back in the day when it was called "family dispute" and it was not illegal. Nothing could or would be done by the police.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that has changed.
